It is for this reason that I am quite unable to understand those painters

who, whilst declaring an active interest in modern problems, stillcontinue even today to confront a painting as if it was s surface to befilled with colour and forms according to an aesthetic taste which can bemore or less appreciated, more or less guessed at. They paint a line in,step back, look at their work with head on one side and half-closed eye,they jump forward again and add another line or colour; and thesegymnastics continue until the painting is filled in and the canvas iscovered: the painting is finished: a surface of unlimited possibilities isnow reduced to a kind of receptacle into which unnatural colours andartificial meanings are forced. Why shouldn't this receptacle beemptied? Why shouldn't this surface be freed. Why not seek to discoverthe unlimited meaning of total space, of pure and absolute lightIt is

not a question of shaping things, nor of articulating messages (and onecan't resort to extraneous interventions, parascientific mechanicalities,psychoanalytic intimacies, graphic compositions, ethnographical

fantasies, etc. . . . every discipline carries within it the elements of itsown solution). For are not fantasizing, abstraction and self-expressionempty fictions? There is nothing to be said: there is only to be, to live.

Pierro Manzoni- Azimuth 1960

"The art I call conceptual is such because it is based on aninquiry into the nature of art," Kosuth has written. "Thus, itis . . . a working out, a thinking out, of all the implicationsof all aspects of the concept 'art,' . . . Fundamental to thisidea of art is the understanding of the linguistic nature of allart propositions, be they past or present, and regardless of

the elements used in their construction."

Clark's attitude toward the object nowdeveloped in three linked directionswhich implied three resounding

negations as far as reining notions ofart were concerned. She conceived ofan object that, first, would dissolveany idea of speculative financial valueor collectibility by being made of

everyday, cheap componentsobtainable anywhere, expendablethrough use and renewable. Second,the object would have meaning andstructure only in the moment of directbodily interaction with the spectator,now more accurately calledparticipant. And third, the object wouldno longer privilege the visual sense,but treat the mind and body as one.The "work" became the "proposition."
