Art and Objecthood

When I think of minimal art, I think that every mark is made with a very conscious decision making process. I am the very opposite of such a process. When I begin a piece I do not think about the space that it will be in, yet I am now trying to be more conscious about the decision making of the scale my painting. Reading through “Art and Objecthood”, the article made me think about the effectiveness of how I can place the painting in a space. Lately, I have wanted a change, especially regarding how the piece relates to the beholder, that it should not just merely be a painting on a wall. But rather, the painting should be placed in a space so that the beholder can be interrupted by it, hence creating a sensation that wouldn’t occur in a different kind of setting.
