NEO CONCEPTUAL ART:

Conceptual Art had its origin in the art of Marcel Duchamp, and was given the name by an American artist, Henry Flint in 1961. Then it became a widespread notion through a book written by another American artist, Sol Lewitt in 1967. The term "Conceptual Art" was originally applied for a type of art which emphasized conceptual aspects of artworks rather than their visual or material aspects. However, from the 1990's the system of art world including art market began to change, influenced by the rapid transitions in the world. Accordingly, Conceptual Art shifted away from its original framework of the rigid deprivation of concrete and corporeal expressions: while maintaining the emphasis on concepts, its expressions developed from presenting an artist's idea itself with minimum elaboration to more comprehensive ones directly appealing to senses of viewers, who were able to relate with part and parcel of the concept. Our booth will present such aspect in Conceptual Art under the title 'Neo Conceptual Art' with the works by four artists.
