“A theoretically strong
work of art (one that proposes its own theory) has something to contribute to
the way we look at art.” Mieke Bal, Louise Bourgeois’ “Spider”: The Architecture of
Art-Writing (2001),
xiv.

With reference to this quote from Mieke
Bal, choose an example of art and architecture(=Andal and her temple in Srivilliputtur), and
explain how it has the potential to make its beholder see, or perceive art and
architecture (and thus perhaps even the world) differently. Be sure to argue,
not baldly assert, and to include a photograph of your example.
