Fox Games

 

One scene from Fox Games by Sandy Skoglund, Mixed Media '89

Every first Saturday of the month the Denver Art Museum has a free day for Denver residents.  I took a friend with me.  Fox Games was a new permanent installation which I liked a lot.  It is a large, walk-through installation of grey foxes playing in and around a completely red setting.  There are several different scenes with an aisle through them for public viewing.  Another view is below.

 

More Fox Games!

Another interesting exhibit is below.  I forgot the name.  I usually photograph the attribution placard but this time I didn't.  I know we talked about whether the figure was attracting or emanating energy but the title escapes me.

 

This piece has the only window illumination in the new building.

And finally a little whimsy for comic relief.

I have visited many museums but have never seen such incredible art work in any museum specially fox games. I hope in future i get chance to visit this kind of museum. Thanks for sharing this interesting art work.

Just wanted to let you know that the piece that you photographed at the DAM was "Quantum Cloud" by Antony Gormley. It's one of my favorite pieces there, especially for where they placed it. I am enjoying your blog! DEB T: Thanks for this comment. I love it but either didn't see attribution or it wasn't there when I took the photo. I usually make an effort to look as only DAM owned pieces can be photographed.
