Answer:
A) by showing three different representations of the same object, thus questioning the nature of representation
Explanation:
<u>A. is the right answer. </u>Joseph Kosuth did composition One and Three Chairs by placing a physical chair, hanging its photograph, and placing dictionary definition of the word <em>chair</em>. <u>By this, he tried to point to the discussion about what </u><em><u>is </u></em><u>actually an object and how different representations can lead to different views of the same thing. </u>He tries to ask us what is the most accurate representation and pointing to us <u>that different representations have different meanings. </u>
<u></u>
B. is not the right answer. Kosuth did not try to point out that the dictionary definition has the same meaning. On the contrary, he tried to say how they have different effects and meanings. Also, there was a photography of the object as well.
C. is not the correct answer. The point was not to show different forms of art as much as to show different meanings and ideas about the same object.
Collectors and museums have a responsibility to return these artifacts to their country of origin if the artifacts were stolen through acts like colonization. Take Ancient Egypt, for example. British archaeologists and historians excavated the tombs of Pharaohs, completely ignoring that in Egyptian culture, the Pharaohs needed those artifacts the archaeologists extracted to safely travel to the afterlife. Taking these artifacts and bringing them back to Britain is detrimental to Egypt's history and culture, effectively stealing their heritage from them. But, museums also have a responsibility to spread easy access to history all across the world. They can do this, but with replicas of the artifacts instead of originals. This allows Egypt to keep its heritage in its own Pyramids and museums, while still being able to share that history with the world.
