My favorties were Janine Antoni, Ann Hamilton, and Cai Guo-Qiang. (I also liked Kara Walker's stuff but I have seen her stuff before.) What I like about Janine Antoni is that her piece a lot of people might not consider "art". But I loved it because she took something that is somewhat ordinary and turned it all around to make the viewer see it from a different angle. You're looking at something that we see all the time and forcing the viewer to see it differently than they ever have before.
For Ann Hamilton, I just love the thought and the idea behind the entire thing. I love how she made the fuscia powder to randomly fall to show the the stains in our history. I love how it showed words in braille. Plus, the whole thing was quite beautiful.
Cai Guo-Qiang- I thought his piece was really cool. I really liked how it wasn't just one tiger but an entire room full of them that you could walk into. The whole thing seemed over-the-top and I thought it was great!
