Sculpture center reaction

The artist Bill Bollinger created a type of art that interacts with space and it's surroundings. This will include stuff that you see in your everyday life. Such as, pipes, ropes, fences and etc. It's based of how these things are position or where they are positioned.

His piece, "Cyclone fence" looks very simple. It's affected with it's space and architecture by the way the artist made it look, it looks like your normal fence but what makes it different is the loop that happens in the middle. I don't clearly understand why this is something to consider an art piece but then again, i don't know it's history behind it. This work does not change my view on space. I just see it as a simple "art" piece made out of metal.

"Untitled" is a piece that has 2 wheelbarrows full of dirty water. As strange as it can be, this is called art. Once again, i don't understand it's space. Maybe the way the 2 wheelbarrows are positioned which is very close. Both the same size and shape and it looks like they can be mirrored. Their space is similar. But if one of them were to be moved, then i believe the space would be changed from it's original space.

If you are me, and you look at these art pieces you would think the same as me, "How can something so simple be considered art? and how does this work with space?" I asked myself this very often as i walked around this sculpture center. I have yet to learn from this. But in a way, i get what the space is. How the pieces are positioned gives it away clearly.
