Wiilam Shearburn Gallery: Friday, 25 September 2009
WORD
September 25 - November 14, 2009
Opening Reception Friday, September 25, 6- 8pm
Featuring work by David Buckingham, Mel Bochner, Graham Dolphin, Joseph Havel, Jenny Holzer, Glenn Ligon, Suzanne McClelland, Matt Mullican, Bruce Nauman, Craig Norton, Ligorano/Reese, Ed Ruscha, John Tinker, Toadhouse
Although the conceptual art movement had begun in the late 1930s, pioneered by Marcel Duchamp's ready-mades, it was not until the late 1960s that text and language began to play a dominating role in that movement. The emergence of language in conceptual art allowed for a closer relation between art, philosophy, theory and criticism. Whether quoting poetry or movie lines, or making reference to a cultural phenomenon, the text and language in all of these works becomes the primary element of the work.
