Неоконцептуализм

Неоконцептуализм или неоконцептуальное искусство (англ. Neo-conceptual art )- направление, представляющее собой современный этап развития концептуализма 60-70-х годов. В основном неоконцептуализм ассоциируется с деятельностью Молодых британских художников, которые громко заявили о себе в 1990-е годы (в частности, Херст, Демиен).

Neo-conceptual art describes art practices that derive from the conceptual art movement of the 1960s and 70s. Many of the concerns of the "conceptual art" movement proper have been taken up by many contemporary artists since the initial wave of conceptual artists. While many of these artists may not term themselves "conceptual artists", ideas such as anti-commodification, social and/or political critique, and ideas/information as medium continue to be aspects of contemporary art, especially among artists working with installation art, performance art, net.art and electronic/digital art. Many critics and artists may speak of conceptual aspects of a given artist or art work, reflecting the enduring influence that many of the original conceptual artists have had on the art world. The Moscow Conceptualists, in the 1970s and 80s, attempted to subvert socialist ideology using the strategies of conceptual art and appropriation art. The central figures were Ilya Kabakov and Komar and Melamid. The group also included Eric Bulatov and Viktor Pivovarov. Notable U.S neo-conceptual artists of the 1980s include Sherrie Levine, Jenny Holzer, Richard Prince, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman, Mark Lombardi and Barbara Kruger. The Young British Artists (YBAs), led by Damien Hirst, came to prominence in the 1990s and their work was described at the time as neo-conceptual[1], even though it relies very heavily on the art object to make its impact. The term is used in relation to them on the basis that the object is not the artwork, or is often a found object, which has not needed artistic skill in its production. Tracey Emin is seen as a leading YBA and a neo-conceptualist, even though she has denied that she is and has emphasised personal emotional expression. Charles Harrison, a member of the conceptual art group Art and Language in the 1970s, criticizes the neo-conceptual art of the 1990s as conceptual art "without threat or awkwardness"[2] and a "vacant" prospect.[3] Other notable artists associated with neo-conceptualism in the UK include Martin Creed, Liam Gillick, Bethan Huws, Simon Patterson, Simon Starling and Douglas Gordon.
