Referring to post 2. please read or refer to post 2 first, Glass Bottles
I wrote ideas, the date and time that I had on to individual piece’s of rizzla, one idea per bottle. I then screwed the rizzla up and placed it inside a glass bottle. The idea is that the bottles contain ideas. I feel that an element of Art is presenting ideas and propositions to the viewer. To contain the ideas in the bottles and present them as a form of “Art”, it takes this idea literally as a physical act.
My main influence of this way of thinking is Joseph Kosuth, who I have previously mentioned. Kosuth claims Art, are different propositions as to what Art is. As a role of a viewer, they are only analyzing the proposition that the Artist has presented in a form of Art, as to what Art is. He quotes in “Art after Philosophy” from 1969, “A work of Art is kind of proposition presented within the context of Art as a comment on Art. We can go further to analyze the types of ‘propositions.” This quote brings my glass bottles into context.
I used black pen to right onto the rizzla so that it socked through the paper. As a viewer when looking at the bottles you can see the ideas but not what they are. This is a representation of Joseph Kosuths quote. As a viewer you do not necessarily know the reality and truth behind the Art, but as a viewer you are viewing the idea in the form of a piece of Art, therefore as a viewer you conclude your own realities and that is when the Art is formed.
