WACK!

My impression of the exhibit was very different. I saw the depictions of the Vagina as beautiful in the fact that women weren't afraid to express something about their bodies that is considered taboo. The Vagina is very symbolic of the core of women and what differentiates us from men and I think it is interesting to see how these different artists portray this differently then how men artists traditionally portray it. I understand where C'vette is coming from with being frustrated with the fact that many of the photos and painitngs made women look objectified but I feel that these artists were doing so to prove different points then to make women look like sex objects. This leads me to my greatest point of frustration was not having enough time. I felt we were only glancing at all of these amazing works on the surface level and we were not able to take the time to call in to hear about the author and what She was trying to truly say so I feel some work was misinterpreted. My biggest disappointment with the museum was our tour guide. I was insulted in a way by how awkward she was talking about vagina's and sex topics. Why would a tour guide in a museum as innovative as this one not appreciate what these artists are trying to say. I also thought she wasn't prepared which took away from the entire experience. On a more positive note I felt enlightened to see such an amazing collaboration of different genres of women artists and I thought it was interesting to see the issues women wished to portray. The constant theme of loneliness that stay at home mothers experienced was very interesting to see portrayed different ways. Overall the museum was inspiring and I plan to go back when I have time to learn about what each artist was trying to say.
