Photoconceptualism, 1966–1973
Sadly, I missed viewing this on my recent trip to NYC, and as it is closing week for this exhibition I thought it fitting to announce it on my blog as one of the final 'Must-Sees' for the Summer Season as it surprisingly still feels like Summertime here in The Roc, but it will very soon be Fall.
May 22-September 20, 2009
The final installment in a three-part series taking a closer look at photography in the Whitney’s collection, this exhibition focuses on works by conceptual artists of the late 1960s and early 1970s. During that time, photography became a favored medium (along with video) for art that placed more importance on concepts than on aesthetic and material concerns and rejected the necessity of the gallery or museum as a primary site of exhibition. The presentation features work by Mel Bochner, Adrian Piper, Bruce Nauman, Michael Heizer, and others.
