Divertevents One 1965

Editor: This is "Divertevents One" by F. Lieberman, created in 1965. It looks like a set of instructions, almost like a game, printed on small cards. What do you see in this piece, beyond the simple geometry? Curator: It's fascinating how Lieberman uses the language of play to subtly critique the rigid structures of mid-century society. Consider the 'connect the dots' instruction; does it invite connection or highlight pre-determined paths, mirroring the social expectations imposed on individuals? Editor: That’s interesting. It’s like the illusion of choice, perhaps? Curator: Precisely. And in 1965, amidst social upheaval and calls for liberation, this work subtly questions the status quo. Are we truly free to draw our own lines? It's a powerful, understated commentary. Editor: I never thought of it that way. It makes me look at the piece in a totally different light now.
