WACK...

All I can say is WOW. I enjoyed the trip to the museum and thought that it was a great experience, but I must say that I was a little disappointed. I was disappointed because went there with a open mind and left with a different mentally. A mentality that I personally thought that a majority of the women who were portrayed and also took part in making the paintings, tapes, sculptures and etc. contradicted themselves. Feminist are always talking about how women are used as sex symbols and exploited but yet in 90% of the paintings their was a naked women with her vagina exposed. I do not understand that. I actually got a chance to see the part of the museum that was blocked off because of the nudity. I should not have even gone over there...lol... because there were basically magazine articles, collages and cut outs of women having sex with guys, girls and themselves. Is that art? Where I am from we call that porn, but again that is just my opinion. I would actually like to discuss this in class and get my other classmates views on it.
