I visited the Albany Airport art exhibit called “Out of this World.” Before I visited the art exhibit at the Albany Airport, I did not know what to expect. I was amazed to find out how unique and beautiful the exhibit actually was. The name of the exhibit also attracted my attention right away. There were seven artists who showed their art work and each artist had unique art pieces. The seven artists included Betsy Brandt, Susie Brandt, Ginger Ertz, Chris Harvey, Jennifer Maestre, David Miller, and Devorah Sperber. The artists used various materials such as, pom-poms, flowers, spools of thread, pencils, and cloth. At first I was skeptical about the art exhibit because it was in an airport but it exceeded my expectations.
One piece that caught my attention right away was Seven Columns of Commerce and Pleasure by Chris Harvey. The colors and they way it was decorated amazed me. It looks like traditional columns but with wacky colors and made out of bowls. There are seven huge columns which are hard to miss. This art piece gives life to the airport with its colors and size. Another art piece which I liked was Midnight in the Garden of the Sea, by David Miller. This piece really caught my attention because of the way it was constructed. It was a dark sea with bright creatures within the sea. It was hard to make out what the creatures were but they represented bright fish. At first it looks like a bunch of scribbling, but as you look at it you realize how it represents fish and other sea creatures.
I also enjoyed Susie Brandt’s piece called Stumps and Drains series. This piece consisted of bright colored hook rugs which represented rain run-off drains and the top of tree stumps. At first glance I did not realize what the art piece was. But after observing it and discussing it with someone, I knew what it was and could enjoy the beauty of it.
The art piece that I liked the most was Spock 3, by Devorah Sperber. I consists of 1,200 spools of thread. It is a picture of a star wars character which is upside down. In the middle of the picture it has a steel ball chain hanging from it. This picture amazed me the most out of any piece at the exhibit. I thought it was amazing how one big picture could be made out of thousands of little spools of thread.
Overall I thought the exhibit was a great experience. I had the chance to see a lot of great art works. At first I did not think that art exhibit was going to be that good, but after visiting it, it really changed my mind.
