At first I wondered, why all of these people were standing around. I made my way to the front of the crowd to see that they were all looking at a movie screen that was playing a video of a party. I then looked to my right to see that some of these people were right here in front of me dancing against a white screen and being projected live onto a screen with a background filled with party goers.
I like this exhibit because the audience was able to participate and become part of the art. Also I like the idea behind the whole piece. After reading about it I found out that it is based on the crux of Iconoclash. Iconoclash has to do with the story of Moses ending the ‘party’ after seeing the calf, but in Judaism and Hinduism the cow is seen as sacred. The idea is that the party is a connection between all three religions and that the audience can become part of this Iconoclash is very appealing to me.
