    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    In contrast to the divide between conception and execution advocated by Anglo-American artists in the second half of the 1960s, this book reappraises conceptual art by examining it from the perspective of craft. The emphasis on craft shifts the focus from the Western art system to its margins, where creators were relegated to the status of mere artisans in the colonial context, on the pretext that attaining that of artists was beyond their reach. From this peripheral point of view, the book shows that work carried out with artisanal means can lead to conceptual practice. Moreover, this shift in perspective provides a new understanding of several positions within conceptualism, which ultimately appears as an ongoing reflection on the role of the hands, making, and craft.

    Look inside



    Im Gegensatz zu der von US-amerikanischen Künstler*innen in den späten 1960er Jahren propagierten Trennung von Konzeption und Ausführung nimmt dieses Buch eine Neubewertung der Konzeptkunst vor, indem sie sie aus der Perspektive des Handwerks betrachtet. Der Fokus wird vom westlichen Kunstsystem auf dessen Ränder gerichtet, wo Kunstschaffende aus kolonialen Kontexten zu Handwerker*innen herabgesetzt wurden unter dem Vorwand, dass sie den Status von Künstler*innen nie erreichen könnten. Das Buch zeigt, dass die mit handwerklichen Mitteln ausgeführte künstlerische Arbeit in eine konzeptionelle Praxis münden kann. Die Beiträge ermöglichen ein neues Verständnis verschiedener Positionen innerhalb der Konzeptkunst, die so als anhaltende Reflexion über die Bedeutung von Handarbeit, Herstellung und (Kunst)Handwerk erscheint.
