1. Artists are exploring language to create acces to ways of seeing. — Art-Language

"Atkinson and Baldwin through the development of a framework investigating the notion of declaring a temporal entity to be an art entity -The Monday Show. most of the conversation and writing concerning this idea soon reached a desultory level -it was unnecessary to attempt to provide an adequate analogy to a spatial entity, because it was quickly and clearly equivalent that there wasnt one. What has become clear to the artists since is that this work was a necessary form of development in pointing out the possibilities of a theoretical analysis as a method for (possibly) making art."

"Epistemologically, it is fallacious to insist that the artist doesnt know that a is an art-object unless he can produce a criterion for art-objectness which will cater for odd, or controversial cases."

"3. Participating in a dialogue gives the viewer a new significance; rather than listening, he becomes involved in reproducing and inventing part of that dialogue."

"1. Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach."

"The question of recognition is a crucial one here. There has been a constantly developping series of methods throughout the evolution of the art whereby the artist has attempted to construct various devices to ensure that his intention to count the object as an art object is recognised. This has not always been given within the object itself."

"There appears to be no real relation of artist to art-object: and this notwithstanding the prospect of a clear account of verification; demontsration would still be difficult, and a clear purporting to describe the way something comes about would not ameliorate the situation. There would still be priority problems."
