1. Frazer Ward suggests that Burden's Shoot is minimalism, therefore, it requires audiences. However, in order to understand his attempt of showing the concept of violent that is informed by mass media, the public needs to somewhat get “involved” into the scene. I'm confused about how this particular wok is being categorized into minimalism art work.
2. Burden claims that his art pieces are private, including Shoot, but in order to make his art works work, he must show them to the public. When viewing his performances, there are only a couple of people allowed in the audience, which is the so called the “private work”. Accroding to Ward, his works are kind of public and yet they still create a send of privacy by having a primary and a secondary audiences. I don't really understand the concept of primary and secondary audience. How do you decide who is going to be the primary audience and who is to be the secondary?
