I really enjoyed Robert Irwins’ video and how he emphasizes that the key role if art is humans. I completely agree on his views that art should be something that brings you to a point where you’re aware, and connected you to something you are around all the time but not focusing on that object or time. Life is the frame to art, and Irwin really understands this element of his work. By removing a direct frame, and letting the environment in which is work is shown be the frame, we receive the direct relationship with the art, and our ability to perceive his work is intensified. The video really demonstrates how art can be something, and it can be nothing to the viewers eyes. Art doesn’t have to be interpreted as “it looks like something” it can be just art. Which is very much appreciated.
