We’re lucky enough to live within walking distance of the awesome Nevada Museum of Art. We’ve taken Bowie a couple of times already, though he’s been too young to really appreciate it. Most art exhibitions I’m guessing would be lost on a 10 month old, but this exhibition or art by Leo Villareal should catch his eye.
“The magic of Villareal’s work lies in its sequencing. Thousands of tiny white LEDs may resemble a starry night as seen in a planetarium, while tubes of colored LEDs masked by a diffuser are like a Monet painting of water lilies set in motion. His hypnotic and exhilarating light sculptures will be appreciated by both the young and old, experienced and inexperienced art viewers, students of both the arts and sciences, and engineers who will be tempted to analyze the artist’s algorithms.”
If you get a chance, don’t hesitate to take your kid to see an exhibition of Leo Villareal work. Our kid was only about 10 months old when we took him and he loved it. Also, Villiareal is working on a new project in which he will install an art piece right on the San Fransisco Bay Bridge!
