This work seems to be composed of several chains on which different colors are added. When the chains are assembled together, a picture is revealed. This picture represents a landscape, and more precisely a sunset (or a sunrise I don't know...) seen through tree branches.
I liked this artwork because it represents a simple but beautiful thing with an original support. But in my mind it is still not enough "nice". I prefer well defined drawings than suggestive art. For me a well defined drawing is like this :
2)
a) According to Thelma Golden, images can change the way we think about cultures and about ourselves. They can create a new story, a new narrative in art history and in the world.
She thinks that the power of images is to raise the question of how people understand themselves and each other.
b) Then, as a curator, she raises some questions about the role of museum in a society. As she sees museum as a thinking tank, she is wondering if a museum can be a catalyst in a community, if it can house artists and allow them to be change agents as communities rethink themselves ? She also wants to know how museum could be the space for a contest of ideas.
3) For Thelma Golden, we must "think about artists, not as content providers,... but again as real catalysts for change". I agree with this idea enven if personally I have some doubts about the impact of an artwork. I can understand that when an artist creates a painting for instance, most of the time he wants to deliver a message, to criticize something in order to change it.
And it's on this last point that I'm skeptical. Today, if you're not expert, you can't understand what the author wants to say. And even if you do, the impact is very low.
Finally, today, artists are still for me content providers bacause I don't think they can change something, they can only influence a minority.
