The Slumber Party Mystery
Chapter 33 - More Distractions
After having spent about fifteen minutes in front of the Pinnochio painting, Diana also dragged Skittles through the rest of the Modern Art Museum. He did not understand much of what he saw, but it was undoubtedly an experience unlike anything he had been through before in his life.
The next room was
incensed with heavy aromas. In the middle of the room stood a
sidewinder on a platform. As they got close to it, an alarm went off. Men in
customized Haz-mat suits came running into the room. They seemed to be going into
conniption and at the same time showing great
zeal in examining the sidewinder. Skittles didn't understand a thing what they were on about. He feared a
conniving setup and looked anxiously around for the emergency exit. Diana, however, said that it was all
bogus and part of an art performance. She clapped her hands, and the men in the Hazmat then did a sort of
cheerleader dance before they left the
room. As they left, Skittles noticed that the back of their suits were all
perforated.
In another room, there was a painting of an
abstemious hermit sitting on a pillar looking out over the desert. At the bottom of the pillar there was an oversized
dung beetle of
chlorophyll-green colour. Diana stood for quite a while in silent admiration of this painting, which was entitled
Rolling off a log.
The last room turned out to be an enormous plain white hall, containing nothing but a very small piece of colourful
origami artwork. The sign said it was of Swedish design. After having expressed some appreciation of this, Skittles suggested that perhaps they should go and have some lunch. Diana, apparently, had nothing against that.
Thank God for Art Museums. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis was great! You managed to bury some nasty old words there and created some really great images - the performance art piece with the guys in Haz-Mat suits was inspired! I'm ith Skittles, though, I really don't 'get' modern art.
