During the monthly Jass Brunch, That I attend frequently at esplanade park here in Fort Lauderdale, I want to do a quick experiment with art and community. I decided early in the morning the day of the event to hang several peices in a wood area next to the band shell, just to see what would happen and who might show interest. I also want to see if anyone might take to work, even though they do not know it's free for the taking. Partly and experiment ontrust, partly an experiment on esthetic. Is this a space where people respect art or it's this environment different and as a result the same people that might respect art in a gallery might walk by without a glace?????
Here is what I hung. I wants to stay a bit darker, based on the general community at the event I wanted to most responce even if that might be negative it would work toward my experiment.
Experiments conclusion: Not what I expected. There was no interest directed toward the artwork at all. Almost like they had blinders on and the only directive they were after that day was wine and jazz. Even worse almost like they were not even aware of their surroundings, with such a beautiful park off the water. Now I will say the art I posted was not my best work, at all. I was strictly some old peices I never liked and some test work I was playing around with. I was just extremely interested to see art realated people show no interest in art misplaced in a park. I think I might need to continue this experiment in different areas or maybe a this prak during different dates?? None the less interesting.....5......
