360 180 geometric mouse in stereo
This stereographic projection is concerned with the large, white sculpture on the right side of the image. Geometric Mouse was one of Claes Oldenburg’s early, large-scale works. The sculpture came in many sizes, from the very small, made out of cardboard to the very large, as in this instance. The reason the sculpture is called Geometric Mouse is not only because the work is essentially made of basic geometric shapes, but because mice tend to reproduce geometrically.
The Sculpture Garden is now quite different, as MoMA renovates itself frequently. I believe I made the initial fisheye shots for this image in 2010.
Of course, the inspiration for this work came from Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. Oldenburg was not alone among Pop Artists in using Mickey as fodder for their pop cannon. Wayne Thiebaud, Andy Warhol, and Keith Haring, and other artists not considered Pop, like Jean Dubuffet, Howard Finster, Peter Max, and Maurice Sendak all did their versions of the Mickey.
