Happiness exhibition

 
Our class went to the Chicago Culture Center last Wednesday, and the machine that supposed to give us the cards was out off service. The next day after I finished my math class, I headed directly from Wright to downtown, and the machine was working this time. I began again at "Hello", and I got the card that said "Remove one shoe and one sock and carry them." I was stunted for a few minutes, and then I thought who is going to do it because I'm not crazy. However, I did. The exhibit provides me a lot of information about happiness and how can I be happy, and it is kind of surprise me by the fact that he give me. For example, a couple has less happiness during they have a children with them. What! Then, my favorite art work in the exhibit is the uselessness is gorgeous because it is huge, and I think he give us a different between art and design. I like when he said "to do something without any goal and any function has it own beauty." Next, I am not quite get in the monkey that hold the quote that said "everybody thinks they are right." What do they imply? Finally, for me, the exhibition is simple because they use mostly black maker without any background, so it is like he just write the sentences on the wall.  However, it presents many documentary and carry a lot of meaningful sentences. Moreover, the video "if I don't ask, I won't get it" infers people as the balloon which at the end they all were broken, and the pin is like the questions.
