Artist/curator Andrew J. Greene, regarding this exhibition:

A FEW WORDS ON FORMALISM AND CONCEPTUALISM

2010, “Formalism”

Formalism = Conceptualism

Process and materiality result in historical mark-making. Mark-making becomes indexed and self referential, process and materials are arbitrary. It is okay to be beautiful.

2010, “Conceptualism”

Aesthetic superficiality > Concept

Derived presentation methods and aesthetic modes dominate meaning. Art objects signify signifiers. Language is rendered as useless.

Two observations:
1. Aesthetic “beauty” is okay.

2. Use of language to interpret objects inhibits potential.
