Conceptual Art & Fred Wilson

I enjoyed looking at the work of Fred Wilson and other conceptual artists.  This is a form of at that is more about the idea of the piece and less about the execution.  The artist can lay out their ideas for the concept in step by step instructions that can carried through by anyone.  The main artist highlighted in class was Fred Wilson.  He is most known for his tear drop collection piece.  It was most interesting to see him put this piece together in the video we watched.  The individual process that each artist goes through to create their individual pieces amazes me.  There are so many different techniques that can be used and in this class we got to look at and determine our own feelings toward each different technique.  There are many more than discussed but I am definitely more aware of the different types of visual art.  I included some different conceptual art pieces that I thought were interesting.  The first is Fred Wilson’s piece.  The second and third are variations on the same concept of three different chairs.  This is by the artist Joseph Kosuth.
