The Menil was very plain yet simplistic. It was very modern like. The front entrance was very high up. the size made the building look grand. It's weird that they decided to paint the building white and grey; dull colors. My favorite part of the building is the very front entrance way. When you look up you see these very intricate shapes in the architecture. I think that Renzo Piano wanted the Menil to be very spatious. I think that he accomplished this idea, because that is exactly what it feels like to be inside the Menil.
The piece that I am discussing is the Dan Flavin installation. We walked into this open space with green, yellow, pink, and blue florescent lights mounted to the walls. It seemed as though the space was overly large. I felt that this type of art was non representational. I find it very weird that the artist Dan Flavin did not alter the original structure of the room. It even looks as though he just installed the florescent lights, which he did. I honestly feel the meaning of the is just to be decorative.
