as i walk through the contemporary section of the art institute of chicago, it slowly takes away all of my maturity. it starts with the the piece "untitled" by felix gonzonalez-torres. it is an interactive piece where the viewer can take a piece of candy from the pile in the corner of the room. i begin to feel rebellious by eating in the gallery when i'm not supposed to.
then, i reach a section where i'm allowed to walk on the art
the final piece is andy warhol's portrait of mao zedong covered in clown-like makeup. at this point, i have lost all maturity. before i can leave the gallery, take a photo picking mao's nose.
