Conceptual art is a movement where the idea or concept behind the work is more important than the physical object or aesthetics, prioritizing thought and message over technical skill, and seeking to question what art is. It emerged in the 60s, using diverse media such as text, photography, performance or even everyday objects, inviting reflection and the active participation of the viewer.

Key Features

Idea Priority: Material execution is secondary to the artist’s intention.

Diversity of media: Use any material or form (writing, video, performance, objects) to communicate the concept.

Criticism of the system: It challenges the commercial value of art, as the idea is intangible.

Spectator participation: Requires greater attention and reflection, making the audience part of the work.
