This image, and the others which follow, are from the SJMA exhibit. All rights are reserved to their creators. I love robots. Maybe it's because I used to work at a specialty toy store which consistently stocked a healthy selection of metallic, 60s style, key-powered robots. Or maybe I have fond memories of my brother's liquid powered plastic behemoth which would vent smoke and stare with its red glowing eyes. Regardless, I was stoked to attend this evening's robot event at the San Jose Museum of Art in honor of its Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon exhibit.
As part of the event, the museum offered free admission for all attendees. Patrons could sip complimentary wine, as well as lemonade, water, or iced tea. Guests could also snag paper containers and fill them with assorted snack mixes, wasabi flavored peas, nuts, or candy. Children and adults alike could build their own robots out of Legos, draw robots with crayons and colored pencils, or create their own robots out of pieces of styrofoam and plastic.
The Robots exhibit had something for everyone--shaded drawings, gaouche, photographs, three dimensional scenes, paintings, statues, and the like. There were original compositions and nostalgic reflections. And most incredibly, there was even a gigantic foam robot overlooking the entire hall--just incredible!
Admission to the San Jose Museum of Art is only $8, less than the price of a theater ticket. The museum is located at 110 Market St, SJ, 95113. Come and support the arts!
