Conceptual

Conceptual artwork is art in which emphasis is placed on the processes of producing art objects rather than on the objects themselves, the creation is merely used to convey a message to the viewer.

For this assignment students were asked to assemble/create a conceptual piece that was in some way still related to their original object. Any medium could be used for this piece, including performance art.

Artists to look at include: Marina Abramović (rhythm 0), Joseph Beuys, Lauren Greenfield, Orlan, Gilbert and George, Shirin Neshat, Guerilla Girls, Andres Serrano, Chris Ofili, Nan Goldin, and Kiki Smith, among others.
