Art Theory....the great big mind fuck! I've been trough it; 4 years of art school.
Whats funny is that they pump you up with all of this bullshit, you get literally sick from it and it takes another 4 years when your OUT of school to figure it out. What I've learned is that its a 50/50 thing: artist/viewer. Yin/Yang. One is not more important then the other, they are symbiotic....unless of course their your client and are paying you to meet a deadline then you're their bitch.
Hah. Yes indeed. The dicks who wrote my school syllabus were pumped up to the eyeballs with post modern crap. It appeared in every subject. But I did this awesome English course which was about a rejection of post modernism. Anyway my art teacher was just a dumb bastard who lapped up the syllabus like a bitch, so every lesson we'd be learning about the value of a urinal as art or some rubbish.
Anyway, moral of the story, if you cut through the crap, you can reach the conclusion that, like you say, its symbiotic. What the artists means, and what the audience understands work in unison.
haha. Never thought I'd be discussing art theory on Interference!
