SOLD OUT - Lectures on Tap—Dematerializing Art: Conceptualism and the Question of Art

An exploration of how conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s redefined what art could be by shifting attention from the art object to the idea itself. Through language, instructions, and ephemeral actions, these artists challenged traditional notions of creativity, authorship, and originality.

The lecture examines how conceptual art reshaped the art world, from text-based works and participatory performances to projects that blurred the line between art and everyday life. It also considers how artists questioned the authority of museums and galleries, reimagined the role of the artist, and opened new possibilities for engagement, interpretation, and critique.
