This week the whole class become curators and when around campus to find natural art. There were many different ideas that were all great. The idea I liked the most was the frame that was made with the two palm trees. When looking through the tape window is seemed like there was a live picture that anyone was able to interact with.
"What Authority?" (sorry for the bad quality)
Our group saw some track marks that the police made from driving on the concrete where all the students and faculty were only allowed to walk on. We decided to square it off because it seemed like a great example of authority that only some people are granted. The theme that we concluded on was simple. Every person throughout our country are all born mostly with equal power, but throughout their lives they gain more power. Some gain much more than the others. The tracks showed that only the police were able to drive on the campus without any problems, but if I went on campus with my vehicle then consequences would be suffered. Glenn made a great point that I didn't really notice when we were curating which was that it was protest art. It angers me why I am not able to have the powers that others have achieved. Glenn also pointed out the crack that was inside the square. This made me have a new idea that was not even thought of. The crack almost represents the anger or jealousy of the track marks by causing a distraction while looking at the the piece. I think it's funny how Glenn was able to explain my feelings better than I was able to express them. So THANKS! This piece just makes you think how this world operates.
