For understanding my territory more clearly, I have just thought about few artists who could have smilier territory of mine and my group. The first art work I have thought about is 'An oak tree' by Michael Craig-Martin. Actually this is one of my favourite art work. I liked this works for long time, but I just realized that this work could have very similar territory.
The work is pretty simple. There is one cup of water on shelter, and artist kind of insist that that cup of water is an oak tree. I love the interview contain his insistence in art work. His insistence in interview sounds bit insane, but I believe that is one of processes how artist make art. And I think that there are lots of things behind of this work to understand. After understanding something behind of a work, the work will be more enjoyable than without understanding.
Every art works could have something behind of works, but I think that it is not every artists make something behind of their work on purpose. Artists always have ideas for their works, and that ideas are usually something behind of their work. And that something is not very important things for some artists. However, that something could be the most important thing for me and some artists who have similar territory with me. I would call that something 'a system' or 'a code'. I sort of enjoy hiding a code under my work, and watching reaction from viewers. I do not think that people have to understand my code, but I believe that it is more enjoyable after understand the code behind my work. And the work become totally different thing after knowing the code. This ways to see my works with knowing and not knowing is what I want people do in my art.
