I spotted these strange statues on the way to the museum and snapped some pictures on the way home. I find them rather disturbing - a crowd of giant, hollow half people.
Anyone know what this is?
‘Spain Watched you’ 1967 by Eduardo Arroyo, Madrid b. 1937 at The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia
another MASS MoCA exhibit - it cast a great shadow. another part of this string 'n' bead installation was some kind of bluish screen on the windows so it looked like night outside. kinda neat =]

Man Pointing was made very rapidly for Giacometti’s first exhibition in New York. He recalled: ‘I did that piece in one night between midnight and nine the next morning. That is, I’d already done it, but I demolished it and did it all over again because the men from the foundry were coming to take it away. And when they got here, the plaster was still wet.’ It was originally intended to be part of a larger composition, with the left arm positioned loosely around a second figure. Giacometti later abandoned the idea, and considered Man Pointing to be a complete work.
