KMIRO GALLERY: The Broad

The Broad (A contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles, CA.)

The Broad 미술관이 작년에 개관했더군요. 예전에 공사중인건 봤는데 이제서야 가보게 되었습니다. 입장료는 무료이고 주차료는 현재 $12. 웹사이트를 통해서 미리 예약하고 와야 곧바로 입장할 수 있습니다. 예약없이 줄을 서서 대기하면 보통 2시간 정도는 기다려야 한다니 예약하고 오는게 아무래도 낫겠죠. contemporary art museum 인 만큼 유명한 현대미술가들의 작품들도 무료로 감상할 수 있고 미술관 건물 내외의 디자인도 독특하고 멋집니다. 근데 한 작품 외에는 눈길을 끄는 작품들이 없어서 아쉬웠는데 현대미술엔 문외한이라 이해도가 높지 않아서일 수도 있을 듯... 아는 만큼 보이기 마련이니... 아무튼 이 날은 Infinity Mirrored Room 도 대기줄이 너무 길어서 스킵해야 했고 1층은 설치미술 작업중이라 내 달 초에나 오픈한다고 하고, 또 나중에서야 지인이 Chuck Close 의 그림 앞에서 셀피를 찍은걸 보고 그 작품을 안보고 나왔다는 사실을 깨달았는데 조만간 또 가야할 듯합니다. ^^;

이 곳에 전시된 바스키아 작품들을 실제로 본건 처음인데 그가 앤디 워홀을 만나지 않았더라면 젊은 나이에 마약중독으로 요절하지 않고 더 많은 작품들을 그려내지 않았을까하는 생각이 들더군요. 한편으론 앤디 워홀 때문에 더욱 유명해졌을 수도 있을 테지만...

데미언 허스트의 작품들도 있더군요. 그의 작품들을 찾아보면 동물애호가들이 특히나 극도로 혐오스러워할 만한 엽기적이고 잔인해보이는 작품들이 많던데 동물들의 뼈만 장식해놓은 이 작품은 그나마 무난한 듯합니다. 동물들의 뼈로 말하자면 자연사 박물관에 오히려 더 신기하고 멋진 작품들(?)이 많을텐데... 여하튼 예전에 영화 The Cell 에서 그의 작품에 영감을 받은 듯한 장면이 있었는데 그래서 여러 작품들을 인터넷에서 찾아봤던 기억이 납니다... ^^
