Event: The Hammer Museum

The Hammer Museum
Numbers and Trees



One of my favorite art displays that I saw at the Hammer Museum was the Numbers and Trees instillation Charles Gaines. It combines colors and numbers to create a painting of a tree. Gaines uses painter acrylic sheets that have a grid with numbers on them and the numbers on each sheet correspond with a number. He then layers the sheets on top of each other to make a complete painting. This instillation was a good example of Art and Math, which we covered in week two.

                                                


Another area I enjoyed the futuristic models that artist/architects have made that may be built in cities someday. One of my favorite ideas was the Jiading Bridge that is planed to be built in Shanghai, China. It can interchange between being a flat bridge for cars or wheelchairs and it can also have a s-shape, like it is shown below to let boat pass underneath it while still allowing people to walk of the bridge. I thought that this idea was a clever combination of futuristic architecture and art.
