MOMA

When visiting Moma, the entrance would have you fooled into what it actually is. When entering,  it’s a huge lobby where I’m guessing check in is. As you walk in further, there’s the ticket station leading to a beautiful outdoor space where you get to mingle, have a quick lunch or just relax. There are many exhibits that contain pictures, slideshows, objects, and sculptures. There were so many rooms and doors, and mini short cuts, that you would need to spend your whole day there to see everything. If I could’ve, I would’ve stayed to see everything that I didn’t get to see. If you’ve never been here, you would enjoy seeing it. Furthermore, walking deeper into the museum on the second or third floor, I came across this interesting picture that looked peculiar. I didn’t get much information under the photo so I decided to research of my own. The name of the sculpture in the picture was “Ilinden”. It was built and opened on August 2nd of 1974 dedicated to fighters who took part in the Ilinden uprising in 1903. The Ilinden uprising was about a struggle for independence and self governance and it got it’s name because of the revolt on a feast-day celebration for St.Elijah in the Eastern orthodox churches. “Ilija” in a different language called Macedonian is translation for “Elijah”. Therefore “Iliden” is meaning for “Elijah’s Day”.

The Museum of Modern Art is filled with classics of the past and the near future. As I entered the museum, I was approached with kind greetings from the staff who asked if I could check in my bag so my I would be hands free while looking at the exhibits. On the third floor, there was a separate room dedicated to Charles White and his masterpieces. This is was my absolute favorite because he had created images that had multiple stories behind them. Once you looked at the artwork, you knew what exactly was being portrayed as well as a brief summary that explained the moral of the creations. There was a blank canvas filled with a detailed description of Charles White's vision of creating images based on World War II. His artwork was based upon the legacy of violence and oppression that citizens faced during that specific period of time. I deeply admire Charles White’s courage and dedication to creating art that has a true meaning and also reflects past issues. The whole gallery was filled with stories from back then and it truly made me think about the difference between issues back then and the issues in the present. His artworks made me realize the struggles and hardships that people had to go through just to support their families and also to survive. I definitely recommend visiting the Museum of Modern Art because you can learn about so much history in such little time.
