  • Basically what I'm trying to say is that if you see these objects on a regular basis and pay no attention to them in their original locations, by placing them in a different setting you allow yourself to look at the objects in a revitalized perspective.

  • "you allow yourself to look at the objects in a revitalized perspective"> I think the title panels fulfill that role.

  • it's an interesting idea. you can go around calling everything art, but it doesn't make it art. when many of those objects were produced, there was no intention of a deeper meaning besides their practicality. so when you analyze this so-called "art", there's no message or emotion or even visual pleasure that the "artist" had an intention on evoking. you can go outside and stare at a (for example) broken fence, and it may be pleasing to you, but thats not it's purpose.

  • In this piece, I play the role of the artist, (as well as the curator and art historian, even the viewer). The point is the art is always there, but it goes unnoticed until I reveal it to you by placing the museum placards by it. Until someone comes along and says THATS ART, its not art. (continued)

  • (continued) The piece isn't necessarily the objects. As an independent artifact they hold little or no value. But as the artist, I transform it by calling it art; by putting my name on it and drawing your attention to it I've changed it's intended purpose.

    See Marcel Duchamp.

  • I was not aware of Duchamp's theories, though I have seen his "Fountain" many times. It is very intriguing, but I think that one important addition to this project (that Duchamp executes) would be moving the object from it's intended location to your own. By displaying them in your own manner you're separating the preconceived notion that these are boring everyday objects. (continued)
