"...there is something especially intriguing about the late 1960s and early 1970s. Perhaps the impulse to revisit this period is one of nostalgia for its artistic innovations and redefinition of the art object." (De Salvo 2005:11)
"Building upon the structures and systems of Fluxus, Neo-concretism, Minimalism and Conceptualism, all of the artists included here are linked by their use of a generative or repetitive system as a way of redefining the work of art, the self and the nature of representation,"
(De Salvo 2005:11)
(Period of opening up the object to the world)
Artists:
- Sol LeWitt 'Buried Cube'
"Were LeWitt's concerns close to Smithson's own exploration of 'site' and 'non-site'? Maybe we should see the work as a performance, as the act of burial itself, in which case it is not its location that counts so much as its duration." (pg.28)
