I stumbled upon this exhibition in MoMA from 2010 called The Shape Lab. I thought it was a really interesting concept that gets looked over a lot. It breaks down art to the bare bone, to what really forms art, shapes, and made them into an exhibit. I think the exhibit title is a perfect representation of the exhibit, and the fact that it is interactive makes it even more of a success. The Shape Lab is an opportunity for people to explore shapes in ways that they never have before. They can break them down, or put them together, making new shapes. I also think their choice of color scheme was well thought out. They used only black, white, and yellow to keep the simplicity of the exhibit, while still being bold in design. The exhibit is displayed in The Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, New York. Maybe you've heard of it? It has become the most iconic museum of modern art in the art world, with exhibits showing things from archetecture to photography. It is a definite must see museum if you are interested in modern to contemporary art. This exhibit in particular was held a couple years ago, but i thought it was a great representation of how the title of an exhibit can relate back to the purpose of the exhibit. I was only able to find one photo, but i will post the video explaining the exhibit, so i recommend checking it out.
