Our first MFA seminar thing was a trip to Beacon, New York, to see the collection of modern art at the Dia museum. It was a pretty good trip, although in all honesty paintings that simply consist of the gessoed surface or just lines are completely lost on me. I am afraid I just do not agree with Greenberg, it's a cool theory and all about the art transcending everyday life by having nothing to do with it, and existing on its own optical plane, but that's just not my taste. I did quite enjoy the sculpture, though. Especially the spider piece by Louise Bourgeois and the fish piece by Bruce Nauman.
