Modern art died out somewhere in the 60s.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

You can't take conceptual art out of context. The work itself is often deliberately trivial or uninteresting. It's the idea that counts. You have to read about it.
>>
>>60499652
No it's not.
>>
>>60499677
You'd have to ask the artist, seriously. Probably he wrote something to explain it. You're not supposed to just stare at something for 10 seconds and say "ah, I get it" and then get a golf clap from your peers. That's not how it works.
>>

Fuck that, art should draw you in. You shouldnt have to trudge through bullshit in some attempt to "learn to like it". If you have a point to make, do it in a way that's actually interesting or choose a different medium. If i should be reading about why i like a piece of art, here's an idea. Write about it, skip the art.
>>
Noise and gaze. They're literally containment genres.
>>
>>60500365
I kind of agree with you but honestly there's also a lot of valuable conceptual art imo. There's definitely a bullshit aspect to art that exists solely to "start a conversation" that could've been had with art as a communicative crutch.

Conceptual art deliberately distills the experience of art to a purely intellectual exercise. That's the point.

I do think it's overstayed its welcome; it's mostly been ultra dull since the Young British Artist era. But it was actually cool in the 60s and 70s when Fluxus was still a thing.
>>
Id call noise modernism and pc music/vaporwave post modernism vaporwave pastiches 80s muzak and pc music is a pastiche of modern pop. Also they depict utopian/distopian societies. Noise is more akin to pollock rather than warhol.
>>
>>60500573
Total serialism is more like modern art in general; noise and free improvisation are closer to dada and abstract expressionism.

And music has been heavy on postmodernism since hip hop and sampling were introduced. Beck was already really postmodern; vaporwave is more or less just a continuation of that.

I mean, if it's trying to express something on a purely intellectual level. Why not literally study the concepts, write your findings down, and get your peers to look it over. You might actually create something of value.

>>60500833
The idea is that the most fundamental aspect of art is the intellectual experience rather than the aesthetic, sensual experience. Conceptual art reduces it to that and only that. In that sense it's the purest and most direct form of art, since it's concerned only with conveying an idea and not looking pretty. Of course there are other ways to convey ideas; that's not the point.
>>
>>60500908
>The idea is that the most fundamental aspect of art is the intellectual experience rather than the aesthetic

That idea's neat and all but the reduction doesn't arrive at modern art. It arrives at science: psychoacoustics, color theory, psychology, sociology, optics, biology. If we're talking the PUREST way of conveying an idea we arrive at ones and zeros, mathematics. There is value in exploring the fundamentals of human experience. But my point is that it's pointless to do in the medium of artistic expression. Art should be the exploration of the canvas, if you're aiming to figure out what the canvas is made of, that's awesome too, but if your findings actually contain value, why are you not telling me? why are you attempting to imbed it into "artistic expression"? It seems redundant as fuck.

No, that's not it at all.

>If we're talking the PUREST way of conveying an idea we arrive at ones and zeros, mathematics.
The goal is a more transcendent experience, like reading poetry. You're thinking about reading a pop-sci magazine or something. That's totally different.

I meant intellectual as in taking place inside the mind, not detached and objective.

Well,I certainly think that Art doesn't have to be taken seriously(to an extent),it has to trasmit an emotion to the beholder,this can be disgust too.
I don't see classicism as a stardard for Art,because art itself won't have stardards in the future.
>>
>>60499295
>"The former has given The Birth of Venus and The Dying Gaul."

No, the primacy of Greco-Roman classicism in intellectual thought for hundreds of years is what did that, not "universal standards."

I'd agree that the contemporary art world often valorizes stupidity (and, more to the point, the art "community" is mostly a bunch of zillionaires that pretend to have taste at Art Basel), but like anything, there's good and bad.
>>
>>60499295
oh, that raging loser again
he probably got mad that nobody wanted his joyless paintings of fat naked bitches laying on couches and instead the galleries put up some blank canvases or something. then he makes a line graph literally plotting "standards" in art and cries about it on youtube. i kind of hope he never says or does anything for the rest of his life.

+1000.

Not to say that all conceptual art is without worth (an all or nothing, dogmatic mentality is counter-productive to any field. "Art should only be about the aesthetic!"), but with regard to music and painting, I think work that prioritizes the "idea" over the sensual and emotional is weaker, since those two mediums are rather insufficient at communicating ideas. Film, literature, and philosophy all do it better, obviously.

Again, not being all or nothing, music and painting often play with ideas in a clever way (This Is Not A Pipe, Dada, Warhol, 4'33, etc) but I think those mediums suffer when the artist goes too far into the conceptual and needs to write a dissertation in order for his work to be "comprehended." Conceptual art is also an easy way out for hacks, since any aesthetic/creative choice can be "justified" or excused away by appealing to the "concept."

"I can't believe you didn't get why I chose to shove a 10khz test tone for 5 minutes into the middle of that song. It's about the post-structural blah, blah, blah, and capitalism's blah blah blah."
