This exhibition was certainly the boldest I have had a chance to visit so far and my emotions could be described as something like positively surprized. First looking at "Train, Mechanical" I was drawn to how smooth and real the movements seemed and almost not robotic at all and the feeling that G. W. Bushes' haunting eyes were really looking at you. The united pinkness of the pigs and Bush figures and the squeaking noises above the robotic ones.
I was most interested of the technical side of the sculpture. How it works? What is it made of? How did he do it? Seemed that he had possibly achieved the best way to present his idea. Well I cant deny the fact that "Train, Mechanical" arises many questions and discussions. Most definitely it gives an idea of McCarthy's attitude towards G. W. Bush. It also makes you question how seriously the artist takes his work? Does he just want to shock or make people think about the issues in a society by using well known figures and images and creating associations.
