First the artist defines meaning, then the work takes place.
Dan Graham, 1972
Contemporary conceptual art has, in recent years, been experiencing a cyclical upturn. Accordingly, in 2006 Camera Austria, with the exhibition "First the artist defines meaning", presented works by a younger generation of artists who were founding their work on conceptual reflections. Evident here was a fundamental relationship of ambivalence – between image and idea, between the visible and its representation, between methods and meaning – that invited more intensive reflection on this ambivalent relationship as explored through the current (follow-up) project. After all, the title "Then the work takes place" phrases the completion of Dan Gra... - Exposition
