Field trip

Can you see a relationship between the content of the text and the shape?
I believe that there was a relationship between the content of the text and the shape. Some of the art pieces had stronger relationships to the text and some did not. However, most of the ones that I came across appeared to contain text with some sort of relevance to the shape.

Record the name of a band from Craig Leonard’s DNA project
“The Toy Killers” is one of the names of a band from Craig Leonard’s DNA project.

How is the framing of these pieces in a gallery inviting you to see them differently?
I saw many interesting pieces at the art gallery that were simply taken from the streets. Some of them were incredibly funny, such as, the dog’s missing head wanted. Most of us would ignore these simple posts if they were just attached to a pole on the sidewalk. This art gallery offers these pieces of art a home. It frames these simple things in such a way as to allow viewers to have a different view of them. The gallery acts to support such simple art that’d normally be ignored out on the streets. Viewers get a better look at it and it provides an interesting basis for investigations.     

Record an idea or art movement or artist or writer or writing idea you would like to investigate.
I think it’d be interesting to investigate, more thoroughly, the relationships between the text and the shapes that they were put in. Perhaps there is much more significance to such style.

Here are some interesting picture I took at the Art Gallery:
