The class trip to The Whitney Museum was the first time I had ever been. I was excited to go because it is one of my friend’s favorite museums. He had already gone to see the biennial and told me many great things. As I explored the museum I saw several pieces that I thought were amazing. My favorite works were from the artist, Tala Madani. The piece I found to be extremely interesting was “Sex Ed by God.” The animated video featured floating lips narrating sex while two other characters watched. At the end of the video, a girl takes everything and puts it into her vagina. I enjoyed this piece because it forced you to use multiple senses to figure out what was happening. You’re required to wear headphones to listen to the piece, which I think results in more concentration from the person watching the piece. I definitely watched the piece more than once in order to make sure I wasn’t missing anything crucial from one of the characters. The other pieces I enjoyed by Madani featured babies. One piece was a painting of a baby reaching for floating breasts. The piece made me think about the way a baby see’s their mother’s breasts as separate from her. They are food not an extension of someone they adore. The other piece featured four babies crawling away with light shining from their butts. In the corner there is a man offering something to the babies as they walk away. I have no idea what this piece means but I thought it was very amusing. I would be interested in finding out Madani’s inspiration for the baby pieces. Another piece that struck me was by the artist Puppies Puppies. I almost walked passed it without realizing it was one of the art works. The piece was called Trigger and consisted of three gun triggers mounted on the wall. It was very minimal but conveyed the message that these small triggers are what is the cause of the damage a gun can do. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the Whitney and will definitely be back.
