"Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences...."

““Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.””

Howard Hodgkin, Interior of a Museum, 1956-59

From the Tate Gallery:

Howard Hodgkin wrote (letter of 2 May 1978) ‘I have always been fascinated by the relation of people to things and in museums would often look through the glass cases at people looking in at the objects from the other side’.

In conversation in 1975 (written account confirmed by him in 1978), he told the compiler that ‘Interior of a Museum’ represents figures seen in front of, beside and behind [through] a glass case in the British Museum containing ancient Greek painted pots, suggesting an equivalence between ancient two-dimensional images of faces painted on the pots and the real contemporary faces seen with them simultaneously. The pink bands at the right recall the shelves of the display case. To the left of the case is Hodgkin’s wife Julia and in front of it, in profile, finger in mouth, an unknown man. The central pot on the top row is flanked by two living faces, at the left that of a man and at the right (with hair in top-knot) that of Marie-Christine Trienen, a French art student at Bath Academy of Art, Corsham whose enormous paintings of simplified figures were influential there in the 1950s.
