In our Center for Creative Connections we ask visitors to reflect on their responses to the spaces they encounter in art, as well as those they encounter in their everyday life.
For one work of art specifically, Lee Bontecou’s Untitled, we ask visitors to respond to one of three prompts:
- To me, sharing space with this work of art feels like…
- The words or pictures that come to mind when I look at this work of art are…
- If this work of art was part of something larger, describe what it would be.
Untitled (35), Lee Bontecou, 1961, Dallas Museum of Art, Foundation for the Arts Collection, gift of an anonymous foundation
We have gotten a lot of great responses from visitors and want to share a few with you. Once a month we will have an “Off the Wall” post featuring three responses left by visitors.
Next time you are in the Center for Creative Connections add your contribution to the wall and maybe you will see it on Uncrated!
I will make a trip to the DMA just to check out your Center. Thanks for sharing.
