ME | Imitating Modern-Art Objects

Only the image, we see here, suggesting some abstract form, a sort of etherial entity behind it that constitutes it's meaning and importance...it's 'being' at all (being like it is). But here, where you are looking, searching for a 'hidden' meaning, there is none. I can assure you, because I made it. Perhaps it is in you? Or is what forms the meaning, that there is no meaning?! If that's so I consider the image a failure. Is it possible to leave absolutely no 'function' or 'idea' what so ever for it as a work of art?; is it an arbitrary 'tabula rasa' for the mind that accidently stands before it?


What is the missing link between the material and the meaning in a work of ART? Ofcourse it isn't in space and time, like the above image suggests, you'd like to say. But where is it then? Where in the proces of making art-objects is such a thing as meaning or 'idea' being constituted from or transformed into matter; they are connected, but how; what sort of connection is it? A very important ontological and epistemological question, it seems to me. Does it originate somewhere between the hairs and handle of a paintbrush? Or in the hand that controls the brush maybe; or in the artists head? If these questions show us anything, it's that meaning isn't going to be found in the natural world of facts: they are not sensibilia like tables or chairs. We can 'see' them though, but only 'in a queer way'. The same goes for saying that the idea is in the objects of Art, part of it. An artwork is the ultimate culmination of mind becoming matter; but not like matter; a material object that can reach our senses in a special way (other than words, for example).
