Intro

“To conceptual art, the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. All planning and decision making is done in advance. Execution becomes a purely mechanical affair. The idea becomes a rule that generates the art.”
Sol leWitt, 1967

Vito Acconci

“I think of art as having a kind of instrumental use. The word exists, the category exists, so it does have a place. So when I say ‘make art,’ I don’t mean a kind of-a kind of self-enclosed art, but I mean art as this kind of instrument in the world.”
