In his lecture at the Badischer Kunstverein, Ian Wallace discussed the "eccentric" or "impure" aspects of conceptual art, from its origins in the late modernism of the 1960s, through to the postmodernist period of the 70s. During this period artists everywhere -- inspired by the experimental anti-object strategies of conceptual art -- were simultaneously expanding the definition of its original proposition.

◇ PICTURE START - Laughing Mountain Communications
PICTURE START tells the remarkable―and unlikely―story of the emergence and rise of the original generation of the so-called ‘Vancouver School’ of photoconceptual artists, artists who are in fact the biggest art stars to ever come out of Canada, even though they remain little known to many Canadians.
The documentary focuses on three of these artists―Jeff Wall, Rodney Graham and Ian Wallace―who chose photography as their medium, offering insight into how and why their ascent occurred in a city until recently known more for its surrounding forests than its fine arts.
