    Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979 12 April – 29 August 2016 Art & Language Large Print Guide Please return to exhibition entrance Art & Language 1 To focus on reading rather than looking marked a huge shift for art. Language was to be used as art to question art. It would provide a scientific and critical device to address what was wrong with modernist abstract painting, and this approach became the basis for the activity of the Art & Language group, active from about 1967. They investigated how and under what conditions the naming of art takes place, and suggested that meaning in art might lie not with the material object itself, but with the theoretical argument underpinning it. By 1969 the group that constituted Art & Language started to grow. They published a magazine Art-Language and their practice became increasingly rooted in group discussions like those that took place on their art theory course at Coventry College of Art. Theorising here was not subsidiary to art or an art object but the primary activity for these artists. 2 Wall labels Clockwise from right of wall text Art & Language (Mel Ramsden born 1944) Secret Painting 1967–8 Two parts, acrylic paint on canvas and framed Photostat text Mel Ramsden first made contact with Art & Language in 1969.

  • 145 the Linguistic Turn in Conceptualism and After
    Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts 2015, vol. XVII ISSN 1641-9278145 Kazimierz Piotrowski Władysław Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź [email protected] THE LINGUISTIC TURN IN CONCEPTUALISM AND AFTER Abstract: One of the most spectacular turns in the art of the 20th century was based on the linguistic reorientation of philosophy, whose extreme manifestation was Wittgenstein's non- denotational conception of meaning. It inspired the so-called analytical conceptualism that was trying in vain to overcome the heterogeneous nature of conceptism, from which it derived. This is reflected especially in Joseph Kosuth's confusion concerning the neo-positivist inspiration and one of the guiding themes of natural language philosophy which emphasizes the significance of metaphor and the fundamental role of the functor as in human thinking. The following article presents this process of inconsistent reduction of art to language, showing some of its consequences and its replacement by contextualism. Keywords: conceptism, conceptualism, contextualism, extension, intension, linguistic turn Attempts to compare or reduce art to language were set off by the high position of literature, especially by the special status of poetry, which, since antiquity, played a leading role in the paragone (competition) between the arts of word and image. At least since Mannerism, poetic conceptism also had an impact on the visual arts and integrated the divided fields of art in general. This tendency – to perceive an artwork as a sign continued in the Enlightenment’s allegoriza- tion and the Romantic symbolization, although it was halted by the formalist tradition of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Laocoon (1766), further reinforced by the post-Kantian formalism of Konrad Fiedler in the late 19th century.

Boyd, Ian Burn, Lauren Burrow, and Fred Lonidier. The work of art is possibly one of the only commodities with equal claim to both private and civic space. It is due to how artworks are embedded in our social relations that we recognise their different values: as historical artefacts, as objects of appreciation (“beautiful” or sensible to taste), political critiques, private financial investments, modes of communication, public documents of the national imaginary—the list goes on. However, the line that divides private and civic has become ever more indiscernible in recent decades—for instance, the erosion of public infrastructure and state industry, private capitalisation on culture and entertainment, the withering of the 8 hour work day, the return of 19th century work conditions, and the ongoing enclosure of our personal lives by a new technological industrialism.

  • Sebastiano Del Piombo and His Collaboration with Michelangelo: Distance and Proximity to the Divine in Catholic Reformation Rome
    SEBASTIANO DEL PIOMBO AND HIS COLLABORATION WITH MICHELANGELO: DISTANCE AND PROXIMITY TO THE DIVINE IN CATHOLIC REFORMATION ROME by Marsha Libina A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April, 2015 © 2015 Marsha Libina All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is structured around seven paintings that mark decisive moments in Sebastiano del Piombo’s Roman career (1511-47) and his collaboration with Michelangelo. Scholarship on Sebastiano’s collaborative works with Michelangelo typically concentrates on the artists’ division of labor and explains the works as a reconciliation of Venetian colorito (coloring) and Tuscan disegno (design). Consequently, discourses of interregional rivalry, center and periphery, and the normativity of the Roman High Renaissance become the overriding terms in which Sebastiano’s work is discussed. What has been overlooked is Sebastiano’s own visual intelligence, his active rather than passive use of Michelangelo’s skills, and the novelty of his works, made in response to reform currents of the early sixteenth century. This study investigates the significance behind Sebastiano’s repeating, slowing down, and narrowing in on the figure of Christ in his Roman works. The dissertation begins by addressing Sebastiano’s use of Michelangelo’s drawings as catalysts for his own inventions, demonstrating his investment in collaboration and strategies of citation as tools for artistic image-making. Focusing on Sebastiano’s reinvention of his partner’s drawings, it then looks at the ways in which the artist engaged with the central debates of the Catholic Reformation – debates on the Church’s mediation of the divine, the role of the individual in the path to personal salvation, and the increasingly problematic distance between the layperson and God.

    Konseptualisme Forelesning #2, 12.10.2015 Konseptualisme • Stiller kritiske spørsmål til konvensjoner, ideologier og egen rolle i samfunnet. • Begrepet ble allment mot slutten av 60-tallet. Får stor utbredelse til USA, Latin-Amerika, Japan og Europa på 70-tallet. • Utfordrer (den greenbergske) modernismens syn på kvalitet, estetikk, medium og autonomi. • Fysisk utforming mindre viktig. Nye medier (foto, video, tekst, tabeller, readymades) og enkle, billige materialer brukt på en ikke-illuderende måte. • Dokumentasjon som integrert del av verket. Prosess viktig. • ˮBeing an artist now means to question the nature of art. If an artist accepts painting (or sculpture) he is accepting the tradition that goes along with it. That’s because the word “art” is general and the word “painting” is specific. Painting is a kind of art. If you make paintings you are already accepting (not questioning) the nature of art.ˮ - Joseph Kosuth: Art after Philosophy, 1969. • Spørsmål om kunstens natur bør være kunstens hovedoppgave. Maleri og skulptur, utfordrer ikke kunstens vesen og er dermed ubrukelige. • Motsetter seg den ”greenbergske” formalismen. • Kunsten må smelte sammen med livet. Avantgardistisk ideal. • John Cage 4’33 (1952) • Konseptualiseringen av kunsten innebærer en omdefinering av kunstneren, kunstverket og betrakteren. Reconsidering conseptual art – 1966-1977 Alexander Alberro (2000) trekker frem fire retninger ved konseptkunsten på 60-tallet: • Arven etter Duchamp. Problematisering av kunstverkets natur. Lingvistisk. • Reduktivisme - kunstobjektet går mot en oppløsning. • Dematerialisering. Kunstverket trenger ikke ha en fysisk form. (negasjon av det estetiske innholdet). • Distribusjon. Plassering av verket som del av kunstnerisk kontekst. Lingvistisk konseptualisme • Joseph Kosuth, Christine Kozlov, Art&Language group (problematiserer kunstverkets tradisjonelle struktur).

  • Conceptual Art
    Issues in Contemporary Art: Conceptual Art Jessica Griggs – January 28, 2009 The whole point of conceptual art is the idea; with this in mind is it even necessary to ‘make’ an artwork? What is conceptual art? Is conceptual art, art? According to Elisabeth Schellekens, other art movements do not arouse as much debate or controversy as conceptual art. Conceptual art has an inclination to provoke viewers, causing them to react for or against the artwork. Some may find conceptual art very refreshing because is seems to be a relevant art practise in today's world. Others may consider it outrageous, offensive, skill-less, negative or not art at all (Schellekens, The Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy 2007). Is it necessary to make an artwork if only the idea exists or can the idea be just an artwork? These questions will be discussed through this essay along with references and examples of conceptual artists such as Mel Ramsden, Joseph Kosuth, Keith Arnatt, and Sol LeWitt. ‘Conceptual art is based on the concept that art may exist solely as an idea and not in the physical realm’ (World Wide Art Resources 2006). The question about conceptual art is that if the idea exists, is it necessary to create the art piece? Can the artist just write the concept? In saying this, writing alone can be an artwork. So real conceptual art is not seen or heard, it is in the mind of the artist and must be either spoken or made known to the viewer by publishing the idea. Sol LeWitt argues that ideas can independently be an artwork because an idea is succession in development, which will inevitably find some form.

The term Post-Object describes two classes of art activity: Post-Minimal and Concep- tual. Post-Minimal art (ie. Earthworks, Bodyworks, Process, and Systems art) derives from the phenomenological interests of some of the major Minimalist figures (ie. Morris, Andre, leWitt, and Smithson). Conceptual art, stringent- ly defined, entails the use of word language to state artistic intentions. % 1969, r..sny of the more progressive Conceptualists in America and England became associated with the "Art & Language group" (hereafter cited as A & L).
