For week two we headed off to the city and went to the Museum of Contemporary Art. I found the art quite underwhelming as most of the pieces were conceptually brilliant but visually were not amazing. One of the artworks which was really interesting and probably my favourite was a set of 5 video screens set up side by side. In the middle there was a mother praying and on the other screens were her children listening to her prayers and you could see their reaction to what she was saying. It was quite intriguing to watch their emotions on their faces. Another piece of artwork which was not so great in my opinion was an open space with a rug and a TV. The TV had vision of Muslims praying and on the rug there was a book with the lyrics to their prayer. The idea was that people should kneel down in front of the footage and read lyrics on the page. I don't agree with it simply because it was too forceful and made people kneel and pray without realizing what they are really doing. Anyway, here are a few pictures that I took.
