| | Conceptual art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Conceptual art, sometimes called idea art, is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved are considered the real substance of the art, in distinction to the traditional expectation of a made art object to be the criterion. | | | Conceptual art also reacted against the commodification of art; it attempted a subversion of the gallery or museum as the location and determiner of art, and the art market as the owner and distributor of art. | | | Conceptual art may not even produce an art object, but rather a physical manifestation that is to be viewed as a document of the art. |

| | Conceptual art is a highly controversial art form. | | | The roots of conceptual art can be traced back to Marcel Duchamp, who from the second decade of the 20th century produced various iconoclastic pieces in which he questioned the traditional values of the art world. | | | Conceptual art had passed its period of peak popularity by the mid 1970s, but there was a strong revival of interest in it in the 1980s. |

| | Conceptual Art |
| | Hence a conceptual work of art, in view of its general purpose and the relative aspects of its components, has unalterable qualities; and consequently, for the artists of this movement, definitions of art and artwork, and their relation to humanity, the environment and aesthetics are in process of re-evaluation, from a standpoint apart from modernism. | | | Conceptual Art is different from "Concept" as the content of art, but can be considered an abstract form of the idea and perception of the artwork originating in the artist's mind, which is later displayed in a proposed structure, and a variety of forms. | | | This group denied the "art for art's sake" approach and methods derived from modernism, believing the source of meaning in visual arts to be language, and therefore featured words and written explanations in their works. |

| | Conceptual artists believe that by making the idea the art, they have escaped the bonds of the art object, they have bypassed the skill necessary to make the art object, and they have superseded all the other "base machinations" that have historically been associated with art. | | | "Conceptual art is 'pure' art!" the conceptual artist blithely boasts. | | | The art object (with all of its multi-sensory ability to convey emotions/ideas/concepts/truths) is now banished to the wings, and the artist is either left of center, or more often, he has assumed the treble role of artist/curator/critic, and is sharing center stage with a sycophantic entourage of curators, contextualizers, event hosts, essayists and critical pundits. |

| | Conceptual art's ascetic assault on materiality and visuality was clearly intended as a rebuke to modernism's preoccupation with aesthetic sensibility as the primary measure of artistic achievement. | | | Conceptual art's abandonment of the modernist conventions of the frame/pedestal, meant that the form of conceptual art was politicised or at least problematized well before its contents became discernible. | | | Conceptual art is also characterised by its relentless rejection of the importance of form and material to the point where this becomes a subscription to an antiform/pro-text aesthetic. |

| | The Definition of Conceptual Art |
| | I think that much of the difficulty with conceptual art, at least for me, is that people like Joseph Beuys were so angry about the distortion of art as a commodity that they were determined that one should have to think, without realizing that many of us have not been exposed to the same concepts. | | | But conceptual art matters for us, as I understand it, because conceptual art melds with language to create something more than the commodity of traditional art for which people will pay lots of money. | | | Because much of the visual work we do in sociology is conceptual, that is, the ideas expressed and communicated carry more weight than the work as a commodity (unless it's TV or film, in which case my confusion starts all over again), I wanted to explore conceptual art with you. |

| | U B U W E B :: Anthology of Conceptual Writing |
| | Conceptual writing is the writing of the new new formalism, and far from being a relic of the period Lucy Lippard documented in her invaluable Six Years (1966 to 1972), it has characterized some of the most rigorous and exciting work from twenty-first century writers such as Dan Farrell and Mónica de la Torre. | | | Accordingly, the conceptual writing collected here is not so much writing in which the idea is more important than anything else as a writing in which the idea cannot be separated from the writing itself: in which the instance of writing is inextricably intertwined with the idea of Writing: the material practice of écriture. | | | Like Ader, the majority of the writers here were participants in the set of contemporaneous practices that came to be known as "Conceptual Art." I want to stress, however, that this anthology is not meant to be a collection of writings by conceptual artists but a collection of distinctly conceptual writing. |
