Tonight I found myself at an artist talk, Conrad Frieberg on his plans for the art he's going to make as an artist in residence at the Hyde Park Art Center. It came up in conversation that distraction can be considered art. He mentioned the solitare dart game he invented as example. The dart board itself becomes a piece of art as various holes are made and paint chips away and the blackboard where he keeps track becomes a work of art as well; the residue of chalk and various pictograms refrencing scores and players which if saved could later become a curosity for the archeologist to unveil. It is in this vein that I show to you my latest work, Various Distractions.
