MIA PROJECT

This assignment was to pick three different objects from the MIA on different floors and put them together to form a new installation with new meaning. In the scene that i am creating i would put a budda statue from Asia wearing a set of body armor from Europe and holding a 19th century axe from Africa.
i feel that budda is already a figure of innessence and that he is portrayed as god that never has to fight but for once he is a warrior and i think this goes against all beliefs making him a warrior to fight intead of always using peace for everything.

in this image by andy warhol of marilyn monroe 1962 silkscreen ink was considered a postmodern piece of art work. This was because marilyn monroe was a pop icon and thought to be purfect by many people at the time. By making multiple images of her he made people see that she wasn't perfect and that she did have her flaws. i thought that this piece was a strong representation of post modern art work.
