The size of MOMA was certainly impressive and so was its permanent collection. The temporary Tim Burton exhibition showcased his drawings, paintings, sculptures and videos as well as a collection of costumes and props made for his various movies. One thing I particularly liked about this show was the use of ultra-violet colouring. It adds a satirical and eerie shining to his artwork. His use of satire is drenched in melancholic humour as he depicts strange and foreign creatures, creatures that endure a perceived suffering whilst revelling in it with childlike naivety. The lighting was effective with significant use of light and dark areas. The exhibit was packed, with both viewers and work; there was a great deal to see and to take in, in such a crowded space, this was my only frustration.
