I think the wonderful irony
about this piece is that it's text.
But in fact it is a painting,
because it's done with paint on
canvas. So I'm really being very
slyly ironic here in saying,
Well, this is what painting is.

What are some of the locations
where you typically encounter
works of art?

What are the unexpected places
where you have seen art?
How do your reactions to works
of art differ in relation to where
you encounter them?
Do you agree or disagree with
Burens belief that context or
location affects the interpretation
of a work of art. Why or why not?

Why hang things on the wall
when the wall itself is so much
more a challenging medium? A
simple cut or series of cuts acts
as a powerful drawing device
able to redefine spatial
situations and structural
components.

I think a person who moves into an apartment and puts curtains on the
window is also being an artist at that point, you know? Theres something that
exists, and youre trying to see what it would be like if it was another way.
