Visiting the Wexner...

So, today was my first time being inside the Wexner Center and I really had no idea what I was doing.

I stumbled upon two exhibits, both were video presentations. One was My Own Private River featured in the box. I was more intrigued by the room itself than the movie. It was appropriately named as it felt like I was stuck inside a box (I'm sure that was the whole point). The cube cushions also played into "The Box" mindset.

The movie itself was peculiar. I'm not sure if it was meant to skip a bit or if the film was damaged but that was once obstacle I faced.

I came into the movie once it had already begun, so I'm not quite sure where in the movie I had actually begun watching. I didn't learn much about the characters because of my late arrival but I sensed a very close bond between them.

I found out after visiting the exhibit that the video was a redone version of My Own Private Idaho, as a tribute to the late River Phoenix, completed by James Franco. That might be why the video was harder to follow.

I'm not sure if I'll ever visit the Wex again but it was definitely an interesting experience. I personally would be more interested in paintings and photos over video but it was interesting to see what artists come up with.
