KATE BOSWORTH, JOE MANGANIELLO & MORE JOIN COCA-COLA TO KICK-OFF YEAR-LONG GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE THE WORLD-FAMOUS PACKAGE DESIGN

The iconic Coca-Cola bottle turns 100 this year and to mark this great milestone The Coca-Cola Company is celebrating with a year-long campaign that includes new advertising, a music anthem and an art exhibit featuring works from some of the world’s leading contemporary artists including Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Peter Blake.

Actress Kate Bosworth, actor Joe Manganiello, and others joined the Coca-Cola Company to celebrate the opening of the The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100. In conjunction with the High Museum of Art, the four-part exhibit salutes the Coca-Cola bottle and its special place in the worlds of art, design and commerce over the past 100 years.

For the first time ever, two original Andy Warhol Coke Bottle paintings are being displayed alongside over 100 original bottle-inspired artworks and photographs. The exhibit includes original bottle prototypes and sketches and will open to the public on February 28 and close on October 4, 2015.

The Coke Bottle 100 campaign, which will be executed in over 130 countries, will come to life through a number of elements including a traveling art tour, 14 new television commercials and a new music anthem from emerging artist Francesco Yates.

New York is known for its fashion BUT its also a force to be reckoned within the art community. Its home to some of the greatest, most respected museums in the world. The Museum of Modern Art, simply referred to as

MOMA

is one of my favorites. I had about 90 minutes to stroll through the building, which is nowhere near enough time to absorb the environment... nonetheless, I was excited to walk around and enjoy the art....

Famous for it's conceptual art and installations, the next group of images leave the viewer to make their own decisions/conclusions about what they are seeing based on their personal experiences and interpretation. The installation above consisted of thousands of mylar-wrapped candies perfectly positioned on the floor. Museums goers were encouraged to pick them up. Many did and ate the candy. I felt it was disgusting to pick up random candy off the floor and place in your mouth, even if the piece were wrapped! So whether you were an active participant or not (like me) the artist forced you to make a decision thus making the installation interactive with the viewer. Simple but effective.

This piece was slightly disturbing. It was the video of a woman with a hood over her head. She repeatedly bumped into the wall behind her until she fell. The song playing in the background spoke about how love is so blind, causing one to fall down. The video was only a few minutes in length but looped over and over again.
