What is Spoon-fed Culture?

       Spoon-fed Culture is a community of people from different cultures coming together to 
contribute and learn about their fellow neighbors. It is a place were a person can learn and understand why people do what they do and how that doing contributes to the whole society. Spoon-fed Culture is for the people who are curious, who enjoy entertainment and who like to be different. We aim to teach art history from around the world, gastronomy, language, traditions, holidays, and all the nuances in between. Why is culture important? Because it provides different ways to complete a task, it is un-limiting, and it shows how people are able to solve the same problems in life using only the resources provided to them. For example, in America, one may find a washing machine a really accessible and common item, however in other areas of the world, washing clothes in bins and beating them against the cold stones is common. Burgers and fries a delicious and easily obtainable meal in one part of the world, would probably never be found in a place like India where cows are sacred and should never be touched let alone consumed. In London, one may find a hot, steamy apple pie in any McDonald’s  franchise but in Thailand, where pineapples are preferred, you'll get a pineapple pie instead. Although the world is globalizing and becoming very similar in many ways, it is still important to recognize and highlight what makes each part unique. Who are these people and how do they express themselves? Who are we and is our approach always right? These are the questions we aim to explore, stay tuned.

YAYOI KUSAMA : Infinity Mirrors

              There are some people who just get it. By "it" I mean the underlying truth of all creation. You can see said truth through colors in paintings that hang on museum walls, or through the perfect collision of fractions that play aloud and create the most beautiful musical pieces the ears can hear. It's called God. The beauty of the world is the little glimpses of God that hang around every corner, in every thought, in everything. Some are a tad better at recognizing the glimpses and some are great at creating it. We call these creators ARTISTS.                                                                           Japanese artist Yoyoi Kusama displays her understanding through works that promote messages that we all subconsciously know but rarely let marinate. An example of this can be viewed through her paintings entitled "Infinity Nets".           The Infinity Nets series were created during Kusama's first few years in Ne

The Metropolitan Museum of Art- New York, NY

     The Met, as in, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a monster of a museum. It houses some of the most famed artists and artifacts throughout centuries of human history. On one end you can learn about the mummification process in ancient Egypt and at the other, you can be standing in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The various escapes to different genres of life provides visitors with enough information to settle any curiosities. At this point, I've been able to lay eyes on some of the best museums in the world and The Met just evokes that "Major Alert!" feel. Some museums have quaint cosy vibes, and others pure, simple and fresh, but then the are the "Other, others" which houses more than anything else, visitors.      If you love art and care deeply about all of its nuances, it may be important to try to feel the space around you, and even think of the history of the person who made what's in front of you. But often times in the major museums,
