Pomona College Museum of Art

The campus is beautiful, surroundings of good people and vibes, i just wish that the receptionist who is in charge in the front was just a little more open to new people coming in and checking out the art.

My friend and I came here this afternoon to see the third «It Happened at Pomona» exhibit. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, but most especially the girl who was supervised the section of the exhibit dedicated to the interactive sculptures (oh dear, I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the artist!). She overheard us talking about whether we could touch the pieces or not, and offered to show us how they were meant to be used. We tried out every single piece, with the exception of the largest of all, a sort of Surrealist viewfinder (its seat was cracked). That was definitely the highlight of the visit for me =) Well, that and the delicious Pacific Standard Time cookie that I was proffered at the end of my visit. It was also my first time visiting Pomona College in general, and it made my visit THAT much more enjoyable. I will definitely be back.

wow… one review. oh well… good. this place is special and empty… nice to not have a bunch of art farts walking around. solid exhibits.

Part I: Hal Glicksman at Pomona
The first «It Happened at Pomona» exhibition focuses on the academic year of 1969 – 1970, when Hal Glicksman was the curator/​director. Glicksman established one of the first museum residency programs in which artists used the museum gallery as a studio space and created unique environments directly in the museum.
