Secret painting (1967-1968), by Mel Ramsden
One of the tendencies in modern art has been the emphasis placed on the process of reception of art objects rather than on their production.
The act of looking -invitation for the viewer to let the imagination play
Conceptual artists pushed this further asking their reader/viewer to consider the mechanisms of representation rather than the thing being represented.
Joseph Kosuth makes this very clear in his work 'One and Three Tables' 1965 from our collection. Here the table itself is presented, as it is, not as a representation, alongside it is a photograph of it taken in the site where it is showing and a dictionary definition of a table.
'Secret painting' makes playful reference to the history of monochrome painting. /Malevich painting his 'Black square' in 1915 /
Joseph Kosuth - Art can manifest itself
A chair sits alongside a photograph of a chair and a dictionary definition of the word chair. Perhaps all three are chairs, or codes for one: a visual code, a verbal code, and a code in the language of objects, that is, a chair of wood. But isn't this last chair simply . . . a chair? Or, as Marcel Duchamp asked in his Bicycle Wheel of 1913, does the inclusion of an object in an artwork somehow change it? If both photograph and words describe a chair, how is their functioning different from that of the real chair, and what is Kosuth's artwork doing by adding these functions together? Prodded to ask such questions, the viewer embarks on the basic processes demanded by Conceptual art.

Stealing materials has started
ART as work of meaning
We build something with materials that are given. Appropriate fragments of meaning from culture and construct other meaning which is for our time and our own.In this sense all writers, write words that others have invented. Another meaning bring us to another level of understanding, it's produce new paragraph.
What is the nature of art?
What could be art, and what could not?
How do you valid art?
Where are limits of language?
What's the relation between art and language? De-compouse language information.
What is a function of meaning? How do you frame meaning? How to accumulate meaning?
What's the role of context and when context become content?
What is a body of my work? What's the mission of it?
