MoMA Learning Conceptual Art Theme

“I think the wonderful irony about this piece is that it's text. But in fact it is a painting, because it's done with paint on canvas. So I'm really being very slyly ironic here in saying, ‘Well, this is what painting is.’”

– John Baldessari

MoMA Learning Conceptual Art Theme

• What are some of the locations where you typically encounter works of art?

• What are the unexpected places where you have seen art?

• How do your reactions to works of art differ in relation to where you encounter them?

• Do you agree or disagree with Buren’s belief that context or location affects the interpretation of a work of art. Why or why not?

“Why hang things on the wall when the wall itself is so much more a challenging medium? A simple cut or series of cuts acts as a powerful drawing device able to redefine spatial situations and structural components.”

– Gordon Matta-Clark

“I think a person who moves into an apartment and puts curtains on the window is also being an artist at that point, you know? There’s something that exists, and you’re trying to see what it would be like if it was another way.”

– Vito Acconci
