Open to Interpretation invited viewers to experience art that goes beyond traditional objects, encouraging them to consider how the work made them feel and how that compared to what the artist was attempting to communicate through the use of “flip the flap” interactive wall labels. Each piece was accompanied by a three word artist statement that visitors could reveal by lifting the flap of the corresponding wall label after viewing the piece. This simple interactive element encouraged close looking and exploration.
