Reading about these pieces was a little frustrating. While obviously we are limited in a variety of ways from actually experiencing them as the artists intended there were several that really captured my attention. For many of these the line between work and viewer is nearly indistinguishable, like Dan Flavin's
Greens Crossing Greens: To Piet Mondrian Who Lacked Green. In my mind I envisioned viewer's/participants wondering in this green discombobulating space looking at the deceptively white tubes that are not only illuminating the space but the viewer herself who also has joined in with the area's green hue. But reading online I get the impression that viewers did not have the ability to actually enter the gallery, leaving the piece to challenge the space without any influence from the viewer. I would love to truly see this, something I do not believe possible outside of truly presenting oneself to it.
