This work provides instructions to viewers on how to contemplate artworks. The text asks viewers to select works they do and do not like, and ask themselves why. In an era when it is common to view art through a screen, scrolling past hundreds or thousands of images at a rapid pace, the invitation to slow down and consider an object feels novel. It’s also a subtle acknowledgment by the artist that much of the work she creates ultimately receives little more than a glance—and she’s in on the joke. Guth’s work drolly concludes: “When satisfied / Exit the room.”
