Chapter Six

When an audience view a piece of art they all tend to have their own different interpretation. For example some people might be shocked from what they have just seen or they can find it funny and something to talk about or maybe even be inspired by the piece of art. When I went to the Tate Modern art gallery I viewed a piece of art work created Paul McCarthy called material gestures there was a group of people in the room and within the group the reactions were so different. I found it very indecent but it was quite comical to watch i noticed a lot of people were very concentrated and very intrigued by the video. The video was very unique because I had never seen a piece of art before with a man torturing himself. after I viewed some of the video I noticed a lot of the people that had viewed this were very shocked as well as amused by the video, where as some people took it very seriously.
Artists tend to create their piece of art with either one or more meanings to the piece. It's mainly made with one because then the audience will all have a different opinion and view on the piece of art and not all just have the same idea its good for an audience to do this because it makes the art more interesting. And if you were to get a group together it wouldn't all be the same thing discussed it would be a different range of ideas and opinions. I don't think its important for a piece of art to have an interpretation because normally the audience all have their own view on the piece of art.
