A PAINTING OF IT’S OWN DOCUMENTATION
|
If architecture/art is all about process, then this is one of the best pieces of either I have ever seen. It is by artist John Baldessari and is currently on exhibition at the Tate Modern. This was the canvas in it’s original form. As it was exhibited at various locations including New York, Houston and Berlin, the name of the museum and date of exhibition was added to the art. creating a complete timeline of events that is itself. Baldessari also completely removed himself from the work by having someone else build and prepare the canvas and then hired a painter to paint the text. The process is itself.
