Project description:
As artists our work tackles a range of concerns and this piece will be no different. However, although we guide the viewer geographically, we are not attempting to guide their thoughts and opinions as one might find elsewhere in the standard gallery environment. We believe fully in people experiencing art in the outdoor environment and in fresh air and exercise. We aim in FRED 2005, not to create a tactile object for others to admire but to take on the challenge of creating an experience. After all, it is often the experience of seeing a great piece of art that exerts its impression as opposed to the piece alone. We (AsArt) have always believed in travel, journeys and in the importance of experience above all else - interaction with the world around us is central to the development of the human 'self'. We are born with bodies built for movement and brains stimulated by activity, yet so often we sit in an office, in front of a TV or a computer. |
