The fourteen prominent analytic philosophers writing here engage with the cluster of philosophical questions raised by conceptual art. They address four broad questions: What kind of art is conceptual art? What follows from the fact that conceptual art does not aim to have aesthetic value? What knowledge or understanding can we gain from conceptual art? How ought we to appreciate conceptual art? Conceptual art, broadly understood by the contributors as beginning with Marcel Duchamp's ready-mades and as continuing beyond the 1970s to include some of today's contemporary art, is grounded in the notion that the artist's 'idea' is central to art, and, contrary to tradition, that the material work is by no means essential to the art as such. To use the words of the conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, 'In conceptual art the idea of the concept is the most important aspect of the work . . . and the execution is a perfunctory affair'. Given this so-called 'dematerialization' of the art object, the emphasis on cognitive value, and the frequent appeal to philosophy by many conceptual artists, there are many questions that are raised by conceptual art that should be of interest to analytic philosophers. Why, then, has so little work been done in this area? This volume is most probably the first collection of papers by analytic Anglo-American philosophers tackling these concerns head-on. Contributors Margaret Boden, Diarmuid Costello, Gregory Currie, David Davies, Peter Goldie, Robert Hopkins, Matthew Kieran, Peter Lamarque, Dominic McIver Lopes, Derek Matravers, Elisabeth Schellekens, Kathleen Stock, Carolyn Wilde, and the 'Art & Language' group.

This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the conceptual art movement. Compared to other avant-garde movements that emerged in the 1960s, conceptual art has received relatively little serious attention by art historians and critics of the past twenty-five years—in part because of the difficult, intellectual nature of the art. This lack of attention is particularly striking given the tremendous influence of conceptual art on the art of the last fifteen years, on critical discussion surrounding postmodernism, and on the use of theory by artists, curators, critics, and historians. This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the movement. It also contains more recent memoirs by participants, as well as critical histories of the period by some of today's leading artists and art historians. Many of the essays and artists' statements have been translated into English specifically for this volume. A good portion of the exchange between artists, critics, and theorists took place in difficult-to-find limited-edition catalogs, small journals, and private correspondence. These influential documents are gathered here for the first time, along with a number of previously unpublished essays and interviews.

"An international movement that developed along separate but parallel lines in Europe and America during the 1970s, Conceptual Art grew out of the legacy of Marcel Duchamp. Aiming to completely redefine the relationships between the production, definition and ownership of artworks and their various audiences, Conceptual artists rejected traditional formats, media and definitions. Instead they chose to address some of the key issues underlying modern life and art. Thse included the gulf between initial idea and finished work, the value assigned works of art in modern economies, the role of women and of feminine creativity in general, the politics of exhibition organization - in short, the ways art and the art world have been defined for centuries. Among the notable figures whose work is discussed in essays ranging from the evaluative to the theoretical are Judy Chicago, Robert Morris, Sol LeWitt, Marcel Broodthaers and Mary Kelly. The influence of Conceptual Art continues to be felt today in the work of such controversial young artists as Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst." - back cover.

This study provides a new interpretation of art after modernism by foregrounding the importance of conceptual thinking as a pervasive force for change in art and art history since 1950. Robert Bailey shows how distinctions between art and art history gave way as conceptual thinking provided artists and art historians with a common means to reassess what art could be and do in the world. Bailey assesses the results of artful and scholarly inquiries combining creative activity with intellectual rigor to proffer new approaches to a variety of social and environmental concerns, ranging from questions about human identity—including race, class, gender, and sexuality—to activist efforts to redress everything from abortion access to migrants’ rights, to climate change. This book provides both a historical overview of these developments and close analyses of key works and texts, spanning 1950 to the present and encompassing broad geographic scope with special attention paid to Indigenous art. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and contemporary art.

Conceptual art marks a major turning point in late twentieth-century art. An art of ideas - which can be written, published, performed, fabricated, or which can simply remain inside your head - it is also an art of questions. Since its emergence in the mid 1960s, it has challenged our precepts about not only art but society, politics and the media. An international movement, Conceptual art encompasses not only North America and Western Europe but also South America, Eastern Europe, Russia, China and Japan. Its legacy is global, ranging from small local participatory projects to large-scale installations at major museums and biennales. This comprehensive volume combines in one book an authoritative Survey essay by philosopher and art historian Peter Osborne, tracing Conceptual art's origins in Europe, Japan and the USA, its development throughout the 1960s and 1970s and its legacy in contemporary art; a Works section documenting the key works, divided usefully into six distinctive types of Conceptual art; and a Documents section including texts by philosophers and writers who crucially influenced the movement, alongside key original texts by artists, critics and art historians.

1.INTRODUCTION Imagine a profession that is thought to have no limits, but the job itself can set its limits. Whether the field of this profession is human and everything that belongs to human beings, you have in your hands your self and the fact that you live in the world. Let these seemingly small facts be interpreted by being shaped, and now I ask, are there not explicit or hidden symbols in the thought you have formed? Here, in Conceptual Art, he tells us that we can apply art and the symbols in the work to everything, anywhere. However, it should be known that if you are going to make Conceptual Art, your infrastructure must be ready. Where do we find the factors that make up thought that has been transformed into a form that we can apply everywhere? Isn't it the symbols that are involved in the work done voluntarily or involuntarily? The events we experience form the final state of our psychology. When the artist puts aside the "concern about where and how" and only makes form, this form will be nothing at first, but then it will turn into many things, this process can even make us someone else later on. People can find the latest state of their psychology in every action they take to get rid of the troubles of life. We can find ourselves in every movie we watch in every article we read. It's about how we look. Art does this to us, and when we go outside, it places many facts that we think are nothing. So why should the artist be stuck with dogmas during the production and transmission of his work? The artist can see his wish to transfer in a tree stump. Isn't it natural to consider the ceremony of throwing out a garbage disposal as an act of getting rid of the excess in our lives and presenting it to the audience as a work of art? Well, wouldn't the artist displaying this interpretation offer us symbols at some point? Although the artist hides this, maybe not in the first reading, but after that he will definitely give it away. Is the artist's most natural state his primitive state? Everything is hidden in primitiveness. The foundations of many formations that we consider new today are hidden in the "Cro-Magnon", the first race of the "Homo Sapiens" subspecies. Maybe it was magic, maybe it was the ingredients of the magic, maybe it was the ceremony. Regardless of how these ceremonies are, they are the factors that naturally make up the theater. Doesn't it point to the earth's art that they have made on the mountain, the stone and the soil? Of course, there are many effects. Let's take a subject, the first invention of primitive man was a needle. Let's say you make your clothes with this invention. Doesn't the position of the person that they think while making this dress affect the dress they have seen and experienced until that day? Is it not possible to place images that distinguish the owner of the relevant dress from other people? Yes, it is possible and very normal action. Now, let's fictionalize this person superficially, there is a tribe and the owner of the dress is the leader of the tribe, and the person who makes the dress is the man he loves, the father of the children he has given birth to. The only woman of the tribe who sews a dress will inevitably place images that distinguish it from the other men of the tribe. We can even find the distinguishing feature in the differences in the seams hidden in the dress. This has influenced fashion, painting and many other branches of art. He disciplined all the arts within himself. Of course, his thoughts and dreams during production are scenarios. It is fiction and he is a screenwriter himself. Dreaming is the most natural impulse and often a life support unit that cannot be inhibited. It has been scientifically proven that even animals dream. The dream is a fiction. The human being, who is more developed than the animal, knows the way of conveying this fiction. The "must have" is the type of person who sets the rules. So it is human who can lift it. Let him choose his own presentation as he constructs and shapes what he imagines. Whatever the material is, let him do it just for art, for himself or to give a message to people, without worrying about color and balance. The artist, who makes conceptual art, contains his own truth that hides all the elements, no matter where he conveys and expresses. This truth is hidden in icons. The purpose of this research is to convey the existence of this fact to the reader.

By the early 1960s, theorists like Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Foucault, and Barthes had created a world ruled by signifying structures and pictured through the grids of language, information, and systems. Artists soon followed, turning to language and its related forms to devise a new, conceptual approach to art making. Examining the ways in which artists shared the structuralist devotion to systems of many sorts, Systems We Have Loved shows that even as structuralism encouraged the advent of conceptual art, it also raised intractable problems that artists were forced to confront. Considering such notable art figures as Mary Kelly, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson, and Rosalind Krauss, Eve Meltzer argues that during this period the visual arts depicted and tested the far-reaching claims about subjectivity espoused by theorists. She offers a new way of framing two of the twentieth century’s most transformative movements—one artistic, one expansively theoretical—and she reveals their shared dream—or nightmare—of the world as a system of signs. By endorsing this view, Meltzer proposes, these artists drew attention to the fictions and limitations of this dream, even as they risked getting caught in the very systems they had adopted. The first book to describe art’s embrace of the world as an information system, Systems We Have Loved breathes new life into the study of conceptual art.

This book examines the use of image and text juxtapositions in conceptual art as a strategy for challenging several ideological and institutional demands placed on art. While conceptual art is generally identified by its use of language, this book makes clear exactly how language was used. In particular, it asks: How has the presence of language in a visual art context changed the ways art is talked about, theorised and produced? Image and Text in Conceptual Art demonstrates how artworks communicate in context and evaluates their critical potential. It discusses international case studies and draws resources from art history and theory, philosophy, discourse analysis, literary criticism and social semiotics. Engaging the critical and social dimensions of art, it proposes three methods of analysis that consider the work’s performative gesture, its logico-semantic relations and the rhetorical operations in the discursive creation of meaning. This book offers a comprehensive method of analysis that can be applied beyond conceptual art.
