About this Group

Conceptual ArtThe notion that is the \\\'concept\\\' behind the work, rather than the technical skill of the artist in making it, that is important. Conceptual Art became a major international phenomenon in the 1960s and its manifestations have been very diverse. The ideas or concepts may be communicated using a variety of different media, including texts, maps, diagrams, film and video, photographs and perfomances, and the resulting works may be displayed in a gallery or designed for a specific site. In some cases the landscape itself becomes an integral part of the artist\\\'s work, as in the Land Art. The ideas expressed through Conceptual work have been drawn from philosophy, feminism, psychoanalysis, film studies and political activism. The notion of the Conceptual artist as a maker of ideas rather than objects undermines traditional views about the status of the artist and the art object.
