Conceptual Art

SolLewitt Sentence

Hello world!

This is my first blog, ever!  Here is the sentence that I have chosen.....

13.    A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist's mind to the viewer's. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist's mind.

I like this sentence because, I believe that art will never come to fruition what is in our minds. I believe that our ideas and thoughts are so complex, that to make them physical is impossible.  However, in saying that, our bodies are able to create a different form of that idea, and it turn, can make it greater then the original thought.

I also believe that people who are more in tune with themselves, who exude self reflection are able to express themselves more at a greater level then those who can not; are able to accurately make physical their ideas. 

These physical creations, these interpretations of ideas and thoughts, may be too simplified or too complex for a viewer to understand.  It may, however, reach them at a different level, bringing new perceptions.

So, in which you can say, 'Does a tree make a sound, when no one is around?' Is art, art,  if it stops with a single thought?
