Conceptualism and Materiality. Matters of Art and Politics

Conceptualism and Materiality. Matters of Art and Politics Welcome and Introduction Prof David Peters Corbett (The Centre for American Art, The Courtauld Institute of Art) Prof Sarah Wilson (The Courtauld Institute of Art) Christian Berger (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz/The Courtauld Institute of Art) Panel I: Materialisation and Dematerialisation (Chair: Jo Applin, The Courtauld Institute of Art) Kavior Moon (SCI-Arc, Los Angeles) Itinerant Matter: Michael Asher’s Air Works Response: Luke Skrebowski (University of Manchester) This conference celebrates the publication of Conceptualism and Materiality: Matters of Art and Politics (ed. by Christian Berger, Brill, 2019). The aim is to underscore the significance of materials and materiality within Anglo-American Conceptual art, as well as conceptualism more broadly. It challenges the notion of conceptualism as an idea-centred, anti-materialist enterprise, and highlights the political implications thereof. The contributors focus on the importance of material considerations for artists working during the 1960s and 1970s in different parts of the world. In reconsidering conceptualism’s neglected material aspects, this group of international scholars will gather in London to reveal the rich range of artistic inquiries into theoretical and political notions of matter and material. They revise and diversify the account of a decisive moment in the history of twentieth-century art—a reassessment that carries wider implications for the study of art and materiality in general. The conference is organised by Dr Christian Berger, Research Fellow and Lecturer, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz/Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow, The Courtauld Institute of Art with the support of Professor David Peters Corbett. The event has been made possible through the generous support of The Centre for American Art and the Research Forum.
