Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin 1950s-1980s | |
| This catalogue documents a most
important exhibition of conceptual art, surveying with decidedly international
scope the development of idea-based art in the works of over 100 artists,
from Australia, Asia, Latin America, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe,
and North America. Included are scholarly essays which consider on a region-by-region
basis the spread of conceptualist art, as well as the "moment of rupture"
when artists turned from object-based to idea-based art. Through both its
text and its numerous reproductions, this books shows the degree to which
the language of conceptual art is global, and its extensive look at non-Western
artists redresses the relative invisibility of these places in most histories
of conceptualism. Project Directors: Jane Farver, Luis Camnitzer, Rachel Weiss. Contributors: Stephen Bann, László Beke, Luis Camnitzer, Chiba Shigeo, Okwui Enwezor, Jane Farver, Gao Minglu, Apinan Poshyananda, Mari Carmen Ramìrez, Terry Smith, Sung Wan-Kyung, Reiko Tomii, Margarita Tupitsyn, Rachel Weiss, Peter Wollen. |
