Opener 19 by Los Carpinteros is the newest exhibit at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College. It features the work of two artists Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes and Dagoberto Rodriguez Sanchez. Their work takes every day objects that are common in Cuban life and repositioning them. The men live on a commune with other artists who have similar artistic styles. My two favorite pieces at the exhibit were "La Montana Rusa" and "Jardin Frances". Both of these featured beds but in unusual ways. The first piece has beds arranged into a roller coater like structure. This made me think of the wild rides that my dreams sometimes take me on. The second painting has the beds arranged to look like a garden. This made me think of how peaceful both my bedroom is for me and how serene gardens can be. Before this I had never been to an art exhibit before and I thought this was a great experience. I enjoyed this smaller museum enough that I would even give larger museums a chance.
