UC Berkeley Art Museum

Over the weekend the dreamboat and I swung by the UC Berkeley Art Museum, and I must say I was slightly underwhelmed (by the art, not by the building itself, which is pretty damn awesome in its layout).

Enrique Chagoya’s Borderlandia is currently the main exhibit, and while it had some really awesome pieces, there is only so much political statement I can take in one sitting. I did really fancy his mix media pieces, and his adaptations on “The Disasters of War” artworks by Francisco Goya.

There were only a couple of other pieces in the museums other galleries that I really enjoyed, one being the photograph above; Zoe Leonard’s “Frontal View” (sorry for the slight blur, I get paranoid about getting a “talking to” from a docent, so I try to be quick). I love the shine, sparkle and Alice in Wonderland meets playing dress up feel. Just lovely.
