We try to have family day every Sunday and do some fun excursion together. This Sunday we chose to go to the Seattle Art Museum to see the Picasso exhibit with Eva. HA! Quite a large undertaking for a seventeen month old, no? Honestly, we went in to renew our membership and check out their newly remodeled kid's section. Let's just say that it's pretty obvious that they didn't consult anyone with children when designing it! Eva was pretty happy with all of the artist easels and toys. Her favorite part of the museum by far was the car exhibit by Cai Guo-Qiang.
According to the museum's website, "Inopportune: Stage On" consists of nine identical white cars outfitted with pulsing colored lights. Suspended from the ceiling of the museum, the cars are composed to create a rising and falling that suggests a repeating cinematic loop, arrested in time and space. Eva was entranced by the pulsating colored lights and the image of the nine cards suspended in the air. She ran through the exhibit space and shouted "car-car-car-carhhhhrrrrr....." at the top of her longs and with a Boston cabbie accent. I wish I could have captured the moment on film but she was just too fast. I love to try and imagine what's going through her mind when she sees an image like that. Cars? In the sky? Oh my!
