Gwylene,
I love this explication, but I think we should share it with the
reader in some way.....or simply in the description of the italicized
bits, use the word "collage" (maybe you do, I'm not able to access
the whole text right now).
--- I know how to look at a collage if I know that's what it is,
otherwise I'm trying to use a different logic to interpret/experience
it.
I think fundamentally, it's about giving me a tool to access the work
of art.....should I need a tool? maybe not, but when faced with
something unfamiliar, I feel more confident about my ability to
engage with the work in a way that doesn't make me feel somehow
lacking...
Hey, we're having a conversation about Aesthetics!!! whaddya know!
I agree that the text in italic may be pretty confusing at first.
That is its intent: to present the confusing artist mind in action
at every stage of the work. This was an important part of the first
text that I initiated. We may look at it the same way we see a
collage with no words. Is a collage confusing? yes and it may be why
the interpretation of it, or mostly parts of it, will depend on who
is looking at it and projecting his/her own sensibility, therefore
enriching its potential. It is not only a question of beauty or
clarity. If we want to change the place of the artist in our culture
it seems to me that the texts are also a place where our expression
needs to join the analytical logical expression.
That said i really agree that the flier fulfill a different purpose
and should be a document offering services. It is an advertisement
with a purpose.
Thanks all who brought their comments.
Gwylene
