Lecture by Alexandra Danilova "Conceptualism and conceptual art" Automatic translate

February 15, 2018 at 18:00 at the Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Tatarstan will host the sixth event of a lecture on art of the XIX-XXI centuries of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and the Gallery of Modern Art - a lecture by Alexandra Danilova “Conceptualism and conceptual art”.

After the triumph of pop art came the "cold 70s." The art of the new era abandoned claims to a total reorganization of the world, delving into introspection. Conceptualism, which appeared in the late 1960s, became the theoretical peak of all art of the 20th century, proclaiming the beginning of an era of educated art. Now the viewer was required not only in-depth knowledge of the history of art, philosophy, cultural studies, but a certain mood of the mind, ready for analysis.

The lecture focuses on Joseph Kossuth, “Art after Philosophy,” Joseph Boyce, 1980s conceptual art.
