#Conceptualism

Conceptual art is the artful con in which objects are distrusted and words take center stage. It elevates emptiness anyone could produce to high status, forcing viewers into an intellectual ordeal. Treating intangible ideas as valuable artifacts, it sells nothingness as commodity. The label on the museum wall becomes the true masterpiece, and a blank canvas the star of the show. In short, it is the excuse factory of contemporary art.
