Conceptual art

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics.

Triptych

A triptych is an artwork divided into three sections or panels, often hinged together, allowing it to be displayed open or folded shut. It is a type of polyptych, a term for multi-panel artworks. Typically, the central panel is the largest, flanked by two smaller panels, although some triptychs have panels of equal size. Triptychs have been historically significant in religious art but are also used in contemporary works.

Manifesto Invencionista

The Manifesto Invencionista was published in 1946, marking the beginning of the concrete art movement in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Written by artist Tomás Maldonado and published by the Asociación Arte Concreto-Invención, the manifesto announced the principles of Concrete Art. Concrete art is purely abstract, with no reference to visual reality, emphasizing geometric forms and the materiality of the artwork itself.

Entropy

Entropy, in a broader sense, refers to the inevitable deterioration or decline of a society or system. In art, the concept was popularized by artist Robert Smithson in the 1960s. He used the term to critique what he saw as the static and overly simplified nature of contemporary minimalist art. Smithson's work often explored the idea of entropy as a force of chaos and decay, contrasting with the perceived order and purity of minimalist works.
