CONCEPTUAL BLIND SPOTS
by Caitlin Jones
The history of contemporary art is being written by, to a large extent, Conceptual Art and its legacy. While no doubt essential to any reading of contemporary artistic practice, the conceptual project is only able to tell part of the story. To engage with our increasingly digital, diffuse and distributed culture and the art it produces Caitlin Jones looks beyond this mainstream. Towards the histories of photography, film, video and the Internet which, rich with stories of dematerialization and critique of their own, exert significant influence on the art of our time.
