Hi all
Have a great weekend.
The documentary essay Conceptual Paradise: There Is a Place for
Sophistication directed by Stefan Römer traces out the debates that
allowed the intellectual art movement of conceptual art to emerge in
the 1960s, and which has subsequently led to the most relevant
questions in contemporary art.
Featuring some of the most interesting and dynamic artists and art
theorists alive today, the documentary presents a diversity of voices
to show conceptual art as a socio-historical development of various
movements; that it has no one valid definition. Yet there are several
ideas that are framed throughout the documentary; the fiction and
ideal of art as political engagement; the history of art as a history
of struggles around strategies of representation, and, in making a
film about conceptual art, the trope of reflexivity that produces a
study on the documentary as a genre in itself.
