A Visit to Coagula Curatorial

The Outside

I visited Coagula Curatorial with Ivanka and Miley last Saturday. I was surprised at how empty the gallery was. There were only two displays in the entire room, a big Emmatron and a small Emmatron. 

 The small one was just a figure looking like a toy. The big one was the human-sized robot, who would answer a question if you asked a question from a pre-select list using the iPad placed in front of the robot. As a piece of technology, it was not new. As a piece of art, I have trouble understanding what she was trying to demonstrate.

There was another gallery open that day right next door, with much more visitors! The gallery had more displays as well. I preferred the artwork in this gallery. However, the downside of having many visitors was the extra loud noise.

Other galleries on Chung King road were closed. But through the window we saw some interesting pieces. Hopefully one day I will be interested in art enough to visit again.

The best part of the day was that Miley and Ivanka took me to an authentic Chinese restaurant I had never been to before. I usually avoid downtown Chinatown for Chinese food. But this place had great inexpensive food. I would recommend anyone who enjoyed Northwestern Chinese cuisine pay a visit!
