Visit to the MET

Visiting the MET is always a learning experience. This time my classmates and I were there especially to wisdom the William Kentridge exhibit "The Refusal of Time". As decribed by the artist himself, The Refusal of Time was a 30min meditation on time and space, the complex legacies of colonialism and industry, and the artist's own intellectual life. It was a combination of different images and sounds put together on various screens at the same time, giving us (the audience) a very 3-D experience as well as surprising us with random and unexpected situations throughout the show. After Kentridge, we went to see some of his actual drawing and painting pieces, followed by visitng the renaissance gallery and greek gallery. Although our visit was limited to a certain section of the museum, I got to focus my attention to few things which allowed me to discover tiny details I did not know about before. For example, during the Kentridge exhibit I used multiple senses like sight, hear, and touch to unedrstand the story Kentridge was trying to portray.
