Conceptual
Art or "information art", became a symbol for artistic freedom, especially
in the 1960's and 1970's. The movement represented a collection of free
thinking artists with ideas that extended into the written and participation
forms of modern and contemporary art. Many particular artists deserve
recognition for their work, and some of these artists involved in the
movement include Robert Barry, Vito Acconci, Joseph Kosuth, Mel Bochner,
Chris Burden, and Jan Dibbets. The Conceptual artists looked anywhere
for ideas and information, to them, every idea was a good one.
