About the Exhibition
Titled 'This is (not) Conceptual Art,' this exhibition is conceived to re-examine the definition and limits of conceptual art. It emphasizes that conceptual art is not merely a theoretical framework but an art form that developed in multiple directions through artists' thinking and social context. The exhibition covers conceptual art from the 1960s to the present, showing its art-historical development and how it established itself within the art world. It presents a total of 40 works across the main sections 'Birth of the Concept,' 'Language and Image,' and 'Space and Participation.' Visitors can experience the diversity of conceptual art, with Victor Burgin's 'The Missing Image' and Thomas Ruff's photo series standing out as notable highlights.
