Please touch the art


We went to The Modern this morning in Fort Worth. During our tour,
one of the pieces was this gigantic spread of green candies (artist in
the picture of the wall card). Part of the observer's experience of
this piece is to be able to take a piece with them. Choosing a piece
and removing it is just as much a part of the work as the artist's
choice of candy color, as the shape and size is never specified as
part if its installation. This wasn't my favorite of the day, but I
thought it was a neat concept. Chad jokingly thinks it is a scam :).
