(The show will be based on a process where upon the exhibitor is asked to collect a series of ceramic mugs and place labels next to each.)
Art work is commonly thought of some thing that communicates, or conveys meaning. The object is often judged as a work of art based upon how well it brings meaning to the viewer.
I would like to draw one's attention to the title of an object as a prime component in its communciation to the viewer.
In this exhibition, I am using several techniques to diminish the importance of the object and to draw one's attention to the title.
By having the exhibition created by another, I am distancing the Artist from the work. This distance shows that special meaning from the Artist was not placed on these particular objects.
Using repetitive forms/objects, but different titles, shows the unimportance of each object.
Since the exhibition can be going on in many locations at the same time, indeed without even the knowledge of simultaneous showings, the objects, and even the exhibiton itself, are further devoid of individual physicality...yet the titles remain.
The titles themselves include references to the different types they are, how they were created. Thus, they point to themselves as things of consideration. (hmmm...note to self, need to add this in...)
I think a good start. I'll take a look at it tomorrow to see if it needs changing....
