Switch! pt. 3

In the spring, I completed an installation art project entitled Switch!
For my project, which I first documented on this blog here and later documented here, I painted nine 18 x 24" canvases with acrylic paint and placed them in a roughly 6 x 9' white-painted wooden structure that I made with some help from my art teacher.

Here comes the artist's statement/description:
For this piece, I challenged myself to consider art display in an alternative way. How could I create a piece to display in an unconventional method - art that doesn't just hang up on the wall? I was also inspired by my constantly recurring impulse to create art that is fun, playful, and interactive - much like the exquisite corpse idea - not art that is overly precious or "does [no]thing other than sit on its ass in a museum," as Claes Oldenburg said. The installment was set up for some time in the lobby of my high school so the community could play and interact with the project, switching out canvases to create whatever 3-part body they wanted. Perhaps one day I will create more canvases to swap into the structure.
Below, see the 9 canvases all lined up. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the structure would never house the 9 at once (there are always 1+ canvases resting alongside the structure), but it's good to see the 9 pieces at once anyway:Happy Thanksgiving!
