Mind Over Matter: 6 Conceptual Artists at the Whitney Museum
Directed by Michael Blackwood1990 58m
Representatives of a third generation of conceptual painters and sculptors, these six artists have turned from the self-conscious absorption of formalist art, addressing instead social as well as aesthetic issues. Through a shared instinct to question and challenge the defined art movements of previous generations, the featured artists create in a unique sector of the radical. In their hands, the traditional matter of sculpture, material and space is subordinated to the demands of the mind. The six artists return to the Whitney to view and discuss their exhibition with curator Richard Armstrong and critic Bruce Ferguson.
