Task 6 Mode of Practice

Being particularly interested in art works being more than just things to be looked at but also things to be touched, experienced like the rest of the world , in a new mode of practice I would like to develop  focus more on the viewer’s interaction with the piece of work or the material. Thinking somewhere between Superflex’ 1, 2, 3, Swing! and Robert Morris’s Continuous project, I would like to not just provide the audience with pieces to handle and experience, as I have done before, but also place a material in a space and document it as interactions with the audience change it’s state. Such as presenting a large plate of polished copper and inviting the audience to touch the metal. The plate could then be photographed at the end of every day and the process repeated over a week. The plate would then be left to tarnish and could be presented as a piece of work in its own right under the title of the dates it was exposed to the public.
