1. What qualities validate conceptualism as art, more so than as ideology or philosophy? Is it the visual element (photography, for example) that makes it art? If the whole idea is to focus on the idea and the concept, why does it need its label as "art"?
2. What are some of the consequences of art's new intimate relationship with politics and social issues such as feminism? For the society? For art itself?
- Because of the rapidly changing world, with its technological advances, art's role in our society evolved. Not only was it a vehicle for purely artistic practice, but it was also melding into everything else in the society. It did somewhat "taint" art as a purely creative domain, but I don't think this is necessarily a negative consequence because it has adapted to serve other functions. Art is constantly undergoing change and I think it's old-fashioned and stubborn to hold onto a narrow idea of what art is.
