Squareish patterned lines.

Doing the Sol Lewitt piece, following directions in a specific manner, although it contains random qualities produces an interesting piece. The Lines seem like they want to connect and make closed figure patterns, but because the line options are chosen at random, there isn't very much connection. Whats nice about Sol Lewitt installations is that there are different results every time depending on each persons interpretation of each person. I was expecting a bigger project. Ive worked on larger Sol Lewitt installations and this was very uneventful for me. Probably, this piece was meant to force the viewer to find the connections and make them mentally since the piece did not.

Begin:

Grab a partner.

Go out side, find a grassy spot.

Cross hands and hold them tight.

Look at each other

Spin.

Spin until you cannot spin any more.

Repeat until you cannot spin, or as you see fit.

Ahh, the spinning about at high speeds. Watching Mia and Maggie spin about, was interesting. The point of the proposal was to concentrate on the spinning, the feeling that comes about it and be unconscious of the problems around you.

Doing the activities, most of it is very basic and the general ideas of the mundane in a more higher sense.
