New York City Program students entered a warped and twisted world in which two dimensions become three and three become two. No, they didn't stumble upon a portal to another universe or try too hard to understand a collateralized debt obligation. On April 7, they visited the Whitney Museum of American Art at 945 Madison.
The museum featured an exhibition of unusual pieces that blurred the line between painting and sculpture, including a wall hanging that consisted entirely of acrylic paint, a multicolored rubber floor piece, and framed portraits with three-dimensional textures.
Students then ventured up a floor to Jenny Holzer's exhibit "PROTECT PROTECT," which is on display through May 31. Most notably, the exhibit features an array of digital marquees that flash information relating to terrorism, 9/11, oil, and the events leading up to the war in Iraq.
