The Work of art and the beholder -Wolfgang Kemp
'The work reacts to it's spacial and functional context through the means of it's medium, through it's size, it's form, its shaping of the interface or border between the ''outside'' and the ''inside''its inner scale, the degree of it's finish, and its spacial disposition (i.e the manner in which it either continues or negates the outer space and positions its beholder)' (Kemp p186)

What if the beholder of this art work thinks it's something else or doesn't want to be positioned? How does a work of art react to anything? This is really interesting. Should it have sensors? If so what would they look like?

ReplyDeletethink personally I am of the opinion that works of art can in a way stand alone. By this I mean Work's of art may carry a persence of there own in a space, so by ocupying/passing thru that space the viewer automatically interacts with the piece as it's(the work) presence enters there perception, wether they chose to stand at the best vantage point or not is up to them.
ReplyDeleteA piece of work can be seen to hold a kind of potential energy. Think Piero Manzoni's canned shit
