This blog serves as a public space for students enrolled in Southwestern College’s Western Art History: Renaissance to the Present to write about their first-hand experience interacting with an art object that interested them from the period covered in the course. It is intended as a space for creativity, ideas, enthusiasm, and critique.

San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art
Pedro Alonzo, David Ellis and Roberto Lange talk about Ellis and Lange’s new, contained Kinetic Trash Sculpture
I was drawn to this piece because of the music that it makes. It blends is so well with your surroundings that at first you don't really know that something is making music. It took me a while to realize what exactly is making the music. The trash can is filled with actual trash and is tucked away in a corner so at first glance you think its a real trash can. The music is symbolic for the "rhythm of the streets". The natural sounds of the everyday life and the rhythm of the streets. To me its made for the urban youth walking down the street listening to music or enjoying the natural rhythm of the streets.Below are other photos from the exhibit that i really liked.
