Ian Burn, commented on the exhibition from an historical viewpoint citing the 1960s as a time when the object seemed to theorise itself "as opposed to the 1990s" when the tendency is for theory to be objectified". Continuing with "this tendency for the art to be read and not looked at...represents a shift in perception - but, in certain ways, also a shift away from perception. Away from using our looking as part of the dialogue with a work of art, as a way of questioning the object". These were observations sustained the creation of LOOKING AT SEEING AND READING.
