The Brooklyn Art Museum was alright. I don’t know much about Basquiat and his work didn’t really speak to me. I don’t want to pass a judgement or say anything about the work because I’m not as informed on his work, but to me it just seemed like a lot of ideas that never really made it all the way to an interesting piece to look at. What struck me about the exhibit was the curatorial job that was done. To make all of those scratch pieces of paper be the main part of the exhibition and make it interesting I thought was impressive. I didn’t really love much of the other work that I saw there, but I think it was just because I am starting to get burned out on viewing art after 9 days in NY. I did love the KAWS sculpture right in the entrance and that was probably my favorite piece on view. Otherwise, it was a kind of forgettable museum.
