EVENT 2: The Fowler Museum 


Making Strange: Gagawaka + Postmortem by Vivan Sundaram, is currently on display at the Fowler Museum on UCLA's campus. The exhibit is known for combining sculptural garments made from recycled materials and a collection of sculptures created by anatomical models and mannequins. In other words, the exhibition takes scientific models from the human body and transforms them into haunting works. This course discussed different ways in which the human bodies can be used as a forum for artistic expression. The use of modeled human anatomic parts allows fro a greater rage of that expression in that the parts are more pliable and easily attainable. The experience at The Fowler Museum was a remarkable one and I hope that I may attend the museum again soon.
