Whitney and Guggenheim Museums

I was impressed of Frank Lloyd Wright architectural design of the Guggenheim Museum. The concept in realizing an almost spiral like for people's circulation inside the building by connecting each floor in a subtle way demonstrates how ingenious  this architect was. I also enjoy very much the museum's collection from artists that produced paintings after WWI. It includes examples of Cubism, Cubo-Futurism, Expressionism and other avant-garde movements. I should mention artists such as Mark Chagall, Robert Delaunay, Franz Marc, Picasso, Paul Klee, Kandinsky and others. From the non permanent collection invited artists I enjoyed so much  Julie Mehretu's large format paintings. It is interesting the way she develops a sense of pictorial space created in layers and contrasts that from distance is an abstract, when you get close to the painting is full of details.

Visiting the Whitney Museum was an exiting experience watching Trisha Brown's Dance Company. The Company's approach in dancing has a challenge to traditional notions of gravity and space by moving the body according to the surface. They made three presentations with dancers, which the most amazing one was walking on the wall by hanging themselves with sophisticated cables. The challenge is the way they control their bodies confronting gravity.

It was also presented outside the building with a dancer fastened to the cables from the top roof.

Believe me the day ended in a very productive way.
