Overview
In contrast to the divide between conception and execution advocated by
Anglo-American artists in the second half of the 1960s, this book
reappraises conceptual art by examining it from the perspective of
craft. The emphasis on craft shifts the focus from the Western art
system to its margins, where creators were relegated to the status of
mere artisans in the colonial context, on the pretext that attaining
that of artists was beyond their reach. From this peripheral point of
view, the book shows that work carried out with artisanal means can lead
to conceptual practice.
Moreover, this shift in perspective provides a
new understanding of several positions within conceptualism, which
ultimately appears as an ongoing reflection on the role of the hands,
making, and craft.
