Art Review

So, yes I'll admit I did just google "modern art" to try and come up with something to write about. But then I remembered that not even 2 months ago, I was in London and went to the Tate Modern Museum (write across the awesome Millenium Bridge or what I like to call....the Harry Potter Bridge) and saw an exhibit that amazed me. So I did a little bit of research (I know...impressive) and found who it was by.
The name of the piece is Staircase iii and is by Do-Ho Suh. Here's a picture:




Isn't that amazing? So that may be a little confusing so I'll explain. The piece is hung from the ceiling to view it, you walk around underneath the staircase. This is exactly how the exhibit was when I saw it....just an empty white room and then this giant red staircase. I was just so impressed that by the little details. And also how simple the idea was, it's really just a thin staircase, but how intricate it is just looking at the material it's made out of. I think it's really cool that the fabric is see-through and that it stretches across the entire ceiling with just the banister and staircase in the center.

By far the coolest art museum I've ever been to.
