6. audience, and audience interpretation of the work

many audiences react differently to pieces of art that they see and it is interesting to see their reactions. each person chooses to view a piece of art differently and looks at it in a different perspective. some people may not be interested in the art itself but may be interested in the artist. some people reactions may be negative others might be positive. some people are afraid to show their expressions but i think this is wrong because this shows you are not interested in the art or in the meaning. also because they are not showing their feelings they are going to take other people's idea's and views. personally i think it is good that people show their true feelings because we can learn a lot from their ideas. some people tend to listen to other people's ideas and views and an example of this is Paul McCarthy's installation video called "material gestures", i viewed this piece of art at the Tate modern and found it a bit amusing. however some people in the room where horrified to what they where seeing and others where intrigued. i was with a group of friends when i entered the room and as i looked at the screen i found it a bit repulsive however as soon as i looked at my friends they where giggling at the video so my views had changed because i started to laugh at the video as well. my ideas and feeling towards the piece of art had changed because i did not follow my true feeling but i followed someone Else's opinions. i personally believe that a artist makes a piece of art with one meaning but his idea has created many other meanings but he has done this unintentionally.
