Looking
What do I see?First questions for entering an artwork without needing expert language.
LFC Questions Library
Start with questions. Then enter the works.
Contemporary art can feel difficult when there is no doorway in. This library gives visitors a way to begin: through questions, artworks, records, and future project charters.
Question Response

Layer 1 / Looking
What am I looking at?
Start with facts before meaning.Begin with what the work gives you directly: artist, title, year, medium, size, image, object, sound, space, or movement. Contemporary art often starts as a set of clues rather than a quick explanation.
