6 Artworks for Your Interpretation Introductory Events
20 Apr - 19 May 2012
6 WORKS OF ART FOR YOUR INTERPRETATION
20 April – 19 May 2012
The appearance of an artwork in a gallery, at a festival, in civic space implies someone somewhere has already valued it. Transmission’s presentation for Glasgow International is an experiment in interpretation, which reflects critically upon the ways in which the ‘value’ of a work of art is assigned, accumulated and circulated. Six works of art for your interpretation challenges the introduction and prefacing of artworks and relies upon some things remaining unstated about the six works. Five of these works have been commissioned for this exhibition and one has been donated.
