Exhibition: OCMA Avant Garde Collection

I recently visited the avant garde collection on exhibition at OCMA. They had a wonderful collection of pop art, assemblage, video and light and space art works. The most interesting section to me was the light and space pieces. They caused me to slow down and really think about what I was looking at. My favorite piece was one by Doug Wheeler. It was a light and space piece and took up a room all its own. Untitled, 1968 was a square room with walls and ceiling all painted white, with a large square light box omitting a white light on one wall. You were invited to enter into the space, and it was a unique experience to be able to physically enter into this work of art; it felt like being in another world. The museum did a great job showcasing key pieces that really showcase the avant garde genre.
