A couple of shorts notes regarding these reading points.
Sherrie Levine ‘Statement’ 1982 extract “A paintings meaning lies not in its origin but in its destination. The birth of the viewer must be at the cost of the painter” my interpretation of this extract is that it is the contract that exists between the painter and the completed painting. Once it is handed over it takes on a new life which the painter no longer controls. It’s life is now determined by the viewer(s).
Link 28, Apropos Appropriation: Why stealing images today feels different. article written / published 2007. I found that this was not the most entertaining read but a useful insight into how the appropriation of objects, art, images has changed over time. My thoughts turned to how different the article may have been if its was re-written in 2020. The rate and number of images being shared globally now has expanded exponentially so that it has become difficult to ascertain the original source.
