Conceptual Art Became The Liberating

What The Work Of Art Looks Like Isn't Too Important. It Has To Look Like Something If It Has A Physical Form. No Matter What Form It May Finally Have It Must Begin With An Idea. It Is The Process Of Conception And Realization With Which The Artist Is Concerned.

The Idea Part Is Simple But The Visual Perception Is Complex.

The System Is The Work Of Art; The Visual Work Of Art Is The Proof Of The System. The Visual Aspect Can't Be Understood Without Understanding The System. It Isn't What It Looks Like But What It Is That Is Of Basic Importance.

Unless You're Involved With Thinking About What You're Doing, You End Up Doing The Same Thing Over And Over, And That Becomes Tedious And, In The End, Defeating.

I Didn't Want To Save Art - I Respected The Older Artists Too Much To Think Art Needed Saving. But I Knew It Was Finished, Even Though, At That Time, I Didn't Know What I Would Do.
