Document Summary
Documentations, writing on paper, and body were a few of the methods. More concerned with the concepts of art compared to the final product. Art no longer had to conform to traditional art, art relied more on the theory then the aesthetic. The artist is detached from his work. During the time period there was the chaotic nature of the civil rights movement, the. Kennedy assassination, vietnam war, social and political questioning, students closed a university in protest for the free speech movement. The lack of the material object was a main difference between the minimalism and conceptual art. Artists were creating art that was critiquing the market, exist outside of the system. These works were functional on the planes of concept art and influenced later artists. The object of art was dematerializing, a rejection of minimalism. Challenged the idea of who made the artwork. Brings to focus the rebellion of new art movements and the avant-garde erased the past.
