Here we see, once again, the merging of human and nonhuman; men's faces erupting from an otherwise functional object. This sculpture was from the contemporary gallery, where the theme of human/nonhuman was everywhere to be seen. I also really liked these two figures, sitting quietly at different points in the museum:

The one above was modeled from plastic, perhaps Glad-Wrap. The one below was covered in fake fur.

I couldn't find an artist's name anywhere, but perhaps someone else knows who made them? Please let me know if you do.
Then there was this, by Judith Schaechter, which I found quite mesmerizing:

The description was illuminating, so I've included it here as well.

The conference proper begins this evening, with an opening presentation by Alondra Nelson, so I probably won't have anymore time to sightsee. It was definitely a good idea to arrive early.
