Daylon's Sterling Blog

July 2008 | Jul 28th 2008

 

In July, I visited the Brooklyn Museum of Art. It is a short walk away, or a one-stop subway ride on the 2,3 trains to Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum. It is steps away from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden which I visited in April. One of the exhibits I saw at the museum was Click! meant to show the “Changing Face of Brooklyn” through amateur photographers pictures of Brooklyn. An online forum opened up to vote on the pictures. Some of the pictures chosen to go up in the exhibit are amateurish pictures but there are some really good interesting pictures of Brooklyn in the exhibit. I also saw the exhibit Ghada Amer: Love Has No End located on the fourth floor there were some interesting works there including one in which she printed on wallpaper different defintions of terrorist, terrorism and other words. She also found that Arabic has no defintion for terrorism and decided to have this printed on some plates and cups in the exhibit.

Here are some of the pictures I took (click to enlarge and see details):
