Home to one of the largest collection of modern art The Tate museum is a must see location. Its many displays of art will have something for everyone. I came across several displays of art that I enjoyed one of those was requiem NN 2006 – 2013. This piece of art was created around the “No Names” bodies found by the river. The specific river it was focused on was Magdiaera river in Colombia. The art show to images that are several years apart. As you moved and looked at the display the art would change back and forth between the two images. The way the images transform brings me to think about how time effects things and how it changes. Another view that I took from the art is that there is always more than on way to see the same thing or story. The following photos are of the display from two different angles showing the two views.
In the Tate Museum I found a room that I was really fond of. It was a room filled with many visual illusions, I have always like how it messed with your head. The art making things move when they are really not and many other effects. I have always been interested on how things like this effect the mind. One of the displays pulled my attention and it was a line based piece of art that made it hard to focus on what was 3d or not when looking straight on. I haven’t really come across something like this and found it interesting. I do not recall the name of the display but have included a photo.
The other piece of art that I want to talk about is the Display “then and now 2016” by Lorna Simson . This art is made from two found photographs after screen-printed and worked by hand. This art shows how ”The police violence against African American citizen continues to dominate the headlines.” I am fascinated by the way the ink looks pulled vertically connecting the two photo that are in black and white. The composition and design is what pulled me to this piece of art. There are so many things in the Tate Museum and even someone who may not be interested in modern art is sure to find something that they may like. There was a Mirror Room display that sounded interesting but required tickets to get in, maybe if I have time later I may revisit and continue exploring.
