Scrabble 1971

Editor: So, this is Dieter Roth's "Scrabble," date unknown. It seems like a very loose sketch with many curving lines and scattered marks. What's your interpretation of the imagery, and its historical context? Curator: Roth often challenged conventional notions of art. This piece, with its seemingly random marks, reflects the Fluxus movement's anti-establishment ethos and its questioning of artistic authority. Consider the institutional critique embedded here; what is Roth implying about the value we place on finished versus process-oriented art? Editor: I see. It's not necessarily about the image itself, but more about the statement it makes regarding the art world. Thanks! Curator: Precisely. And hopefully a better understanding of the socio-political forces at play.
