Saatchi Gallery of Art

One of the assignments of our trip  was to explore a modern art museum in London called the Saatchi. There was all sorts of very strange and very exhibits, from an exhibit of the world’s flags made out of human hair to a group of animatronic people praying.

But one exhibit that really caught my interest and had me start thinking was this:

Two skeletons in a sexual position. It was the combination of the sculpture and the shadows that really captivated me. It was like two shapes that fit into one piece. Sex is always seen as something complicated or something that one shouldn’t do until this and that have been fulfilled. But by bringing it into something as simple and everyday as our bones.

Here’s another interesting piece I saw in the gallery:

It was interesting to me for a few reasons. First, most of the piece seemed to be hidden by a cold metal wall, like it was keeping you out from what was behind. Second, a traditionally religious thing (stained glass) portrays very scientific images: a molecule, a heart monitor, the human brain, etc. It gives me the feeling that it’s almost a futuristic piece. Maybe saying something about scientology?
