Journal Article
Conceptual, Postconceptual, Nonconceptual: Photography and the Depictive Arts
2012
Overview
The model work of conceptual art is a text of indeterminate length that argues successfully for its own status as a work of art under the existing criteria of autonomous art, but that, in succeeding in doing so, passes beyond those criteria, and that of autonomous art as well. A painter can make any number of almost-identical monochrome paintings and justify doing that as his or her response to the need to remind his or her audience, or emphasize to that audience, or berate and hector that audience, about the cultural emergency that is bourgeois art, about the permanent crisis of bourgeois art. In the same vein, the most rigorously logical conceptual artist could present the same text any number of times in any number of exhibitions, situations, or other contexts. Here, Wall implies that photography played some central role in the elaboration of conceptual art, what he's going to call the conceptual reduction of autonomous art.
