The Critic Executes The Work (Roland Barthes) III, (altered detail of John Bakker original) 2010

View On Black

This is a detail (re-arranged by me) of the original by Chicago artist, John Bakker, in a solo exhibition of his recent work (in the Hansen Gallery, Wheaton College, Illinois, Feb-March 2010), that invites audience engagement, and, if desired, re-arrangement, and thus reinterpretation.

Bakker, discovering that he is only the first interpreter of his own work, has thus taken a further step than is normative, by intentionally inviting his audience to engage with, and, if desired, re-arrange, and thus reinterpret his work.

The work, of which this is a detail, is itself based on Albrecht Durer's 1525 woodcut of a man demonstrating one means of perspective drawing, of a recumbent nude woman, as seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/59118828@N00/4373770841/
