When I was first given this assignment I really did not know what to expect from the exhibition. I knew that I would be viewing artwork using the context of dominos but I did not know how the artists' would connect dominos to their artwork. This was my second time going to Perez Art Museum Miami so I was really excited to go to see this new exhibition.
My overall impression from the show was that it was very successful in
communicating the context of the domino including community,
unification and chain reaction towards how dominos brings people of different
cultures together. There was a balance of different forms of art that were
used throughout the exhibition.
I enjoyed the
interactive qualities to the exhibit including the video art and the
interactive table with the domino game set up for the audience to play.
As a Puertorican artist it was refreshing to see
artwork made by people from my culture because I have not seen enough of Puertorican
art. The art work that I viewed discussed the history of sugar cane harvesting
on the island, the chaotic city life where the domino game are is often played,
and connects the personal and cultural relationship with dominos using the
table design from outdoor domino tables in the park.
