All You Need to Know about Conceptual Art

[deeden76]

I lol pretty hard at the idea of conceptual art.

[FeltDownHard]

i hate it that my art teacher thinks that conceptual art is beautifull

[boogiebuddy01]

i really wish i had never gotten into art

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@boogiebuddy01 why???

[boogiebuddy01]

@EyeWearMySunglasses because art as a job is confusing its not fun anymore

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@boogiebuddy01 may i ask what you do? Im going to school to be a film editor... i want to work on documentaries...i find art in crafting aesthetics to make you want to indulge...im 34 and just now finding what i want to do when i grow up...late bloomer 4sure!!

[boogiebuddy01]

@EyeWearMySunglasses thats awesome, im in the fine art world painting. Or i was. Documentaries are great i went to school for photography, i dont know about what i said it all just depends on what you like to do and everything changes from day to day

I like conceptual art. Art which expresses.

[OscarCommie]

Everyone in this is a knob

[soulofshiver]

Conceptual art is a misnomer

[TomHendricksMusea]

See Snake Oil for the conceptual art that attacks conceptual art.

Also, what is mentioned in this video about 'if its so bad, then why does everyone do it?'

that is the worst argument in defense of conceptual art that one could possibly come up with because you are assuming that if everyone does it then it is the right/most appropriate thing to do.

The answer to that question lies in psychology and social sciences.

conceptual/post modern art is a revolution not an evolution, and in a revolution moving against the flow means premature death.

[melikab]

while I understand the notion that thoughts and ideas that go into a piece or work are important-which is basically the message of conceptual art- I must say the idea that this can only be accomplished through dis-embellishment/tearing apart of art as we have come to know it, is horribly incorrect.

The reason why I dislike contemporary/post-modern art is b/c in its effort to reach a higher plane it fails to achieve even the bare minimum. bike wheels & metal bits? an artist should know better.

very interesting!

[lesjeunes11]

What's contemporary now then eh?

[Stuckstuckstuck]

Conceptual art is dead.

[keeperofthecheese]

@Stuckstuckstuck

I dont think conceptual art is dead. I think that it is now becoming too abstract. If we keep conceptual art understandable, then it remains interesting.

[Tihmily2007]

@keeperofthecheese And I believe that failing to grapple with complexity is a pretty bad life strategy.

Understandable, I hope, but complexity is here to stay.

[AdmiringObserverR]

@keeperofthecheese hmm nice point, I might agree

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@keeperofthecheese that makes NO SENSE conceptual art isn't supposed to be understandable its supposed to be ambiguous

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@EyeWearMySunglasses give me understandable art and I will show you what everyone else does...I want new ideas not regurgitated ones

[NZbeauty86]
