Conceptual Realism
_____towards a definition             graphic


 

Conceptual Realism is a genre whereby an artwork is used to illuminate a moment of truth;
a fundamental principle or otherwise an underlying dynamic found to be endemic
in something which is, in the eyes of the artist, worthy of detailing with in one of its incarnations. 

This might encompass merely a minute observation worthy to be brought forth to the audience,
perhaps even the need of closer observation itself, all the way up to a profound principle
demanding some detailing.  A broad range of devices may be employed to accomplish this,
what ultimately determines the relative success of the item at hand is whether it imparts a
pertinent idea about itself into the observer.


                                                                            Let this serve as a call for a conceptual ontology!


e.g.:

for seeing things in stereo

So, you want to see the world in 3D?
Got to get some 3D
gl
asses.
