Respond to the Derrida

  "Context is ever expandable, never exhaustive and never finished. Similarly the way that works of art may be framed, moving beyond not only the literal possibilities (within works of art), may allow us to consider the frame not simply as somthing related to painting, but simply related the way we view the world, the way we frame the world."- Jasques Derrida

  This quote reminds me of Roland Barthes's theory-"The death of the author". The meaning of the work is omnipresent. It can't be restricted by the physical limitation such as frame. It last forever and and received by different audience and convey into significant perception. (though Barthes claims that the spirit of the work has changed into totally distinct meaning.)

  I agree with Derrida's point that every one is framed by the institute, the culture. We are trying to connect with the art work  when we look at it. What we are doing is filtering the unrelated information and picking out the similar memory and thoughts. We conduct these conclusion and connect with the art work. But our thoughts and perception have already influenced, moreover, framed, by the environment we grew up, the  information we received and anything we learned. Being open minded and expending our horizon can enrich our intention and indeed, have more reaction and response to the world.
