Viewing single post of blog What is Art?

**Idea**

I had an idea! This idea is to buy some glass vials/bottles from the shop that have cork plugs. Every time I have an idea, I am going to write it onto a piece of rizzla and place it into the bottle. I am going to make sure that I keep track on the time and dates that I have an idea and I will place the time, and date onto the bottle.

The idea is that the idea is the Art. I have simply put my ideas into the delicate and preciouses bottle, making the bottle valuable. This resulting in the idea being a piece of Art itself.

Why do I need to do the Art, or make Art, when it is the idea that is the Art? Making the idea into a piece of Art would just be the interpretation of an idea; therefore, it would not be the original idea.

Eventually I will have many bottles with different idea’s encapsulated in them. I will then present the bottles with my ideas encapsulated in them as the Art.

I am considering attaching a small label on the bottles with the time and date that I had the idea. I will also keep track of my own ideas by righting on this blog, as to what idea is, on each piece of rizzla, in what bottle.

The viewer will not see the idea in the bottle, so would this be a problem? As a viewer, all they will see is a bottle with a piece of paper screwed up inside it.

But the reality is what they are viewing is an idea?

This project then flags up some questions…

Is it important for the viewer to know the idea?

Is there even an idea inside the bottle?

As an Artist, am I producing Art with integrity?

Is it important for an Artist to be honest?

I am assuming these ideas are made valuable because they are contained with in the small bottle.

The bottles are still a piece of Art themselves because of the purpose of the idea and artist (me) intention behind each bottle.

When I state that when I have an idea I will right it down on the rizzla and place it into the bottle, in what context will the idea be?

I am going to right down the moment another door opens, in my mind regarding the Art world.

i will keep you updated about my ideas and the development of this project will progress from these ideas.
