Visit to the Guggenheim.



It is said that a picture is worth a thousands words or live life for the moment. These sayings take meaning when visiting Lee Ufan’s exhibit. It is very simple but gave impact on the display of art and at the same time making the viewers interact with it. In a way it makes you live the moment of art work.
 Lee Ufan’s work is not the type to drown your visual senses with elaborate colors or with hidden works. Its uses a monochrome style and instead of over powering one of senses, it grabs us a whole. It’s in this processes that viewer experiences, the real world experience.

In the exhibit every piece had its own way, though very simply, of conveying a sense of spirituality. Best example of that was the rock sitting on the shatter piece of glass. These are items that everyone interacts with daily. But it’s the way they are juxtaposed that gives it meaning. It makes you travel to the moment in life whether good or bad and relive it. The time you broke a window or your last car accident. It took the moment that you “lived life for the moment” and that significant meaning/spirituality that came with it, and made you relive it.
