The simplicity of my day to day.

PROMPT March 12th

Imagine you had to create an art piece for a gallery or museum. What would you create?

I wonder what sort of gallery would agree to display any art piece created my me. Not one I would want to visit! šŸ¤£
My display area would probably be an empty space. There would be a plinth covered in black velvet. A spotlight would light up the space. The notice would say The Emperors New Clothes, or Imagination.

This reminds me of a news item I read in the Guardian newspaper.:

A lot of people have fallen for a fake news report about ā€˜invisible artā€™. Collectors, claimed Canadaā€™s CBC, are paying through the nose for the art of 27-year-old Lana Newstrom even though you cannot see any of it.

ā€œArt is about imagination and that is what my work demands of the people interacting with it. You have to imagine a painting or sculpture is in front of youā€, the artist supposedly said.


So yes, I think thatā€™s what my exhibition would be like.
