Sixth Weekly Post (for 11/18/2008)

Artist: Brian Judy

Title/Date: The Grid (2000)

Category: Abstraction

Function: The given description states: "High energy games and toys for the practicing art consumer." Without reading this I do not think I would have understood this as much. Since this is an abstraction, I see this as someone trying to create a game or toy for a child. This artwork depicts the process to create a new toy or game. When you start going somewhere, you think you have an idea of a sequence or order. However like this piece, at first you won't get to where you want. After you click on something you think you have it figured out but have to "go back to the drawing board" as an toy inventor would while creating a game.
