How Am I Manipulated?
When I first moved to Seattle about a month ago I went out for a jog. I went down the water front when I came to a beautiful park on the end of town. It was the Olympic sculpture park. I was running along an I remember actually stopping at one sculpture, not because it was beautiful, but because it was the biggest piece of crap I had ever laid my eyes on in my life with the and it was sitting in the best view in the park. That’s why I was excited when given as an assignment to find a sculpture at the park that we didn’t like because I knew exactly what I was going to pick. I went back down to look at it an get a little bit of information. The sculpture consist of a few logs and a chain hung between a few polls and is called Bunyons Chess an the man responsible for it is an American born artist named Mark di Suvero. Throughout this week ive gone back three different times to the park not necessarily to look at it but just going on a walk with a really hot girl. One day we were walking an we went by a man who seemed to be infatuated with the eye sore so I had to stop an I ask what he found so amazing. He said that he was admiring how the huge logs had been suspended in the air. I agreed with him because I didn’t want to be rude, but its not that crazy. Now im not one of these people who’s sees a piece of art an just instantly says I could do that because I don’t think I could make this piece, the logs and chains would be much to heavy for me to lift. I do however think a hurricane on a tornado could have easily made this piece simply by sucking up a few telephone polls and a swing set smashing them together only to place them down together in the most beautiful space on the park over looking the water. During the week I did research the piece a little an today I went back one more time to try and see anything that could make me like it. I was staring awhile and I got to say I tried to give it a chance I really did and even though I now appreciate that it would have been kind of difficult I don’t like it an I really think that if the parks going to have it at all they should have it in a better location like the trees and not in the best viewing spot of the park. Im going to continue to try and like this piece because I have to run by it all the time and I guess I might as well like something if I have to see it that often but at this point I don’t think its going to happen.
