Reflections on the Perception of Art - What Do We Bring to a Work of Art?

This proposed series positions the gallery as a place where attention is practiced. Each session begins with direct looking and opens into shared reflection on feeling, memory, distance, interpretation, and meaning. The aim is not to arrive at one correct reading, but to deepen the encounter between artwork and viewer.

May 23 is the second event in the monthly series. We will engage in an exploration of memory, emotion, life knowledge, and cultural experience. How does personal response stay grounded in the work itself?
