Conceptual Art

Providing a re-examination of what Osborne identifies as a major turning point in contemporary art, this monograph takes a chronological and stylistic look at conceptual art from its “pre-history” (1950-1960) to contemporary practices that use conceptual strategies. Osborne surveys the development of the movement in relation to the social, cultural and political contexts within which it evolved. With extended captions, key works are compiled according to ten themes that also serve to present a collection of critical texts, artists’ statements, interviews and commentaries. Includes biographical notes on artists (6 p.) and authors (2 p.), a bibliography (2 p.) and an onomastic index (4 p.) Circa 150 bibl. ref

Flow City Study

installation at Marine Transfer Station, Department of Sanitation, New York, NY Glass bridge installation"As the Artist-in-Residence for the New York City Department of Sanitation, a position she has held since the mid-1970s, Ukeles has created a major installation called Flow City. There is perhaps no greater mythology of the everyday than that of the endless array of disposable commodities in our homes and the presumed lack of consequences for the garbage we create domestically and publicly. Flow City calls our attention to the vast amounts of waste that accumulate as we deplete the resources of the earth. And perhaps most subtly, Ukeles calls attention to the way we, as those who create the waste in our homes and domestic habits, are prone to see the garbage dilemma: with casual indifference." -- From http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/humnet/arthist/ahgsa/2001_abstracts.htm (accessed 10-14/03)drawing, Colored pencil drawing of Flow City
