EXHIBITION
I have been so excited to go to this gallery! today was the trip to the incredible MUSEUM OF MODERN ART! i am a HUGE fan of one of the artists exhibiting there works, however this is special as it is her entire lifeworks in one place, CINDY SHERMAN is THE spark of my inspiration of such a young age. I first found out about her though a teacher at school, i was doing an art project on portraiture and using the idea of transformation of ones face to represent certain school stereotypes, one i looked through her work i instantly related and fell in love. However we were not allowed to take photographs in the gallery. sad times.

Another artist that was featured at the gallery was a woman names SANJA IVEKOVIC who i had never heard of in my life. Her exhibition was called SWEET VIOLENCE which was her first retrospect in the US. Her work collaborated well with the work of Sherman has her themes revolved around feminism and activism, however expressed herself through video and performance art. Yugoslavian scene in the late sixties was an inspiration platform where artists were breaking free into the New Art Practise, her work shows us the transformation of politics and women's rights and addresses the status quo through conceptual montages, video, audio, sculpture, drawings, patterns and acting.
