Plexus No. 29:
-With this piece of art what struck me as
creative was the way it presents itself. At first glance you don’t even realize it as
being a tangible work of art but as a prism effect that has entered into the
MOA.
-What made this piece creative was that
someone took simple things like different colors of strings and made it into an
astounding prism –like work of art that really makes you look at its detail.
-Honestly, I have no idea this idea came
about. I would think that maybe one day one artists was sitting in the MOA
looking up at the skylight and wanted to use it as art. Why not take advantage
of all the space of the art museum. It seems like he noticed the light coming
in and decided that you could make a prism out of that light.

-What struck me as creative was when I
walked in the room and it looked as if the pieces on the wall weren’t actually
on the wall but that they were extensions off the center piece. The trick of
the mind was really interesting.
-I think what was really interesting about
this piece was kind of what we talked about in class last time about how
everything is a remix or a copycat of something and this is exactly that. The artist
has taken different parts of a historic town and turned it into a contemporary piece
of artwork.
-I think that the artist started seeing
some history/growth in the town of Provo and noticed that it would be nice for
people to know what Provo is all about in a cool and new way. Show the audience who are either natives to
the town or are just passing by for a short time.

I agree with Frankie-- it would be difficult to pinpoint the starting idea for this amazing piece of art. Perhaps more than observing the location and seeing what he might conjure up to fill the space, maybe the artist had an idea that he wanted to use light to his advantage. What a brilliant idea, because it is isn't everyday that artists capitalize on elements of nature and the world around them to enhance their works.
ReplyDeleteHe did a beautiful job in using the light of the sun to cast further attention on the colors of the stringed-prism.
