Gallery Windows

Résumé du livre

Strangely, my strongest impression from a recent visit to Konrad Fischer Galerie in Düsseldorf, an early German outpost of conceptual art, was of the view. Fascinated by the voyeuristic exposure to the residential building across the courtyard and the shifting rhythms of windows framed by windows, I snapped each of the ten of them. Ever since, whenever I see gallery windows competing for attention with art, I take snapshots, even if their purpose remains moot. Robert Barry says, "The artist making his work of art is entirely different from the artist presenting his work of art". This paper facilitates my exploration of that difference by forcing me to present my window collection while I am still unsure what it is about or for. Whatever comes in the following pages will reflect my attempts to frame something ongoing and aimless as a meaningful outcome.
