An magazine. Feb 2011.

physicality
balance
viewers relationship to the object and space that they both occupy
space as it exists, imagined and experienced
mirrors structures around it

interestingly i came across this artist after just handing in an essay, in which i looked at the idea of 'art and objecthood' where factors of size, shape, space , the object and the viewer are all discussed.

relates back to my work at the beginning of the year... tracing tube journeys.

wasn't sure where the work could go or why i was doing it ...  this wasn't a reason to stop.

'GPS'

Gabriel Orozco

seeing something different

everyday.

imprints, circles, leftovers, remains

human

symmetry. diagrams. movement. people.

disruption

playful

simple.

really enjoyed the exhibition.. every room had a different character but the relationships between the work remained. each room a different project. works with everything.. every medium. let the relationships form afterwards.

after feedback of my own work recently- 'too much of what i already know'- this exhibition made me want to just go out and experiment. set myself projects.

'explore something new in order to learn'

'process in order to understand why you are doing something'

i know this already so why am i holding back?

On Kawara

'date paintings'- each painting completed on the date shown. Should Kawara finish to fail a painting by midnight, he destroys it.

What are the reasons why conceptual are is considered difficult?

Being struggling lately with 'the theme' in art? 'the theme' in my work? what is 'the theme'? what is meant by the theme? When researching On Kawara's work this came up...

However, what about the themes? Conceptual art was a movement in which the artists reconsidered the importance of the theme in art, placing emphasis on it. We may call it the art which used the 'importance of the theme' as the theme.... 

maybe this is my answer? 

Another of Kawaras works. 'one million years'
