Installation of Waste Not as part of Projects 90: Song Dong at MoMA

[UNITEDSPACEFLAG]

somehow with the music it´s romantic in the end

telling about life

[saturninenight]

Wow...Reminds me of the "shanty" I lived in with my Grandma in Mexico. It was miserable and hot. The only thing missing is the 50 or so sheep and goats she kept. This is what her property looked like when she let all them goats wander off to graze. She was also a hoarder. There was a dump nearby. All the garbage from Mcallen, Texas would be disposed of across the border to a site about a mile from my Granma's shanty. She would go looking for anything worth while and bring it home.

I finally visited MoMA a couple days ago and saw this.The person who commented below me explained it very well. In addition, I see this installation as a form of art therapy.

I went to see it today. It's pretty wonderful. It's also very biographical.

It's the contents the artist's (Song Dong), mother's house in China. She grew up very poor and kept everything. When her husband died 4 years it went it to extremes so she would not feel the emptiness of his absence.

Her desire for security is expressed in this hoarding. It was an epic force.

To see junk organized so meticulously is mesmerizing. It makes you think about the nature of waste, and generation gaps.

[wcatdoor]

to me thats not art... its junk... when people throw paint at a wall its still junk...

[dryboogers]

any paint thrown on any wall is still called art.

with that you are saying andy warhol is ignorant for the performance art he did.

[swk0205]

[paxson001]

The MoMA has some great older works but all this contemporary "junk," "high concept" art is just garbage. It's so arrogant and self-infatuated.

[jennytire]
