We visited the Whitney Museum for our fifth field trip and I discovered different types of work of art. Not just drawing or painting but it shows performing arts. It gives out different types of documentations as well and shows a story behind it. One work of Art was called the Kipper Kids which was a boxing ring that has two boxers standing in the ring. This will be a social reference that i will identify in this piece because it can be for entertainment. Even when that work of art is occurring in real life, they are made for entertainment for the people. Although this piece is hard to explain and understand why it's made, it still can give interests to people that likes to do that certain sport or action.
The second performing art that interest me was from Michael Smith. This performing art shows a documentary of an adult that acts like a baby in the street which also gave an entertainment to others. This art will also be a social reference that i can identify in this piece because of how a human person act. Some people's minds function abnormally and does not grow as you are becoming an adult the way its supposed to. If i were to attend the actual happening, it would be easier for me to understand the situation because you are able to see face expressions and more actions that occurred.
The third performing art that I saw was from Vito Acconci and it shows a person who became crazy in the basement. He didn't want to come out of the basement and becomes crazy. In my opinion, i would be merely scared to even get close to that person. It is a certain the way a human's mind function why they become that way. So for me, this will be a social reference as well.
