Robert Gero Exhibition Event

Yesterday I was able to go see Robert Gero’s exhibition of  ‘Infinity Structures: Paradoxical Spaces”. This was the most intimate art display I’ve ever been a part of, and it was very exciting for me to experience this side of the art world. Upon arriving at the exhibit, I was blown away to encounter both a visual and audio art piece. It was a styrofoam contraption that had many angles and edges, filling the room. There was also cushions placed in the some of the corners of this contraption, which I later learned were originally from the space that was used, in order to incorporate the previous space with the artwork that now filled it. There was also sounds playing in the background that really had an effect on the whole ambiance, making the display seem more futuristic.

We were able to listen to Robert Gero talk about his artwork, and he explained that it was essentially a screen shot of an ‘infinity space’. He described infinity spaces to be something like rooms that have infinite amounts of new aspects to them, and continue to unfold forever. I admired how he was able to implement themes like geometry and architecture in his piece, and I immediately thought of this class and how we acknowledge how art and other subjects go hand in hand.

This entire experience was so interesting to me, and nothing like I had ever done before. I was nervous when I first got there because I don’t know very much about art, but the exhibition was very inviting, and everyone seemed very excited about this piece of art. Overall, this was a very positive experience for me and I really enjoyed being able to appreciate art in this way, which I normally would never have experienced.
