The dissertation examines the role of photography in Conceptual Art from 1966--72. While conceptual artists formulated their work in explicitly anti-formal terms, and avoided the conventions of modernist painting and sculpture, they did not abandon medium-specific inquiry. In the majority of cases, they adopted text and photography as their principle visual forms. Conceptual artists claimed to have no interest in fine art photography, or indeed to have any aesthetic investment in the photographs that they made. However, the uses of photography in their work produced a new set of aesthetic possibilities that crucially altered the terms of both art and art photography.

520 $a The dissertation examines the role of photography in Conceptual Art from 1966--72. While conceptual artists formulated their work in explicitly anti-formal terms, and avoided the conventions of modernist painting and sculpture, they did not abandon medium-specific inquiry. In the majority of cases, they adopted text and photography as their principle visual forms. Conceptual artists claimed to have no interest in fine art photography, or indeed to have any aesthetic investment in the photographs that they made. However, the uses of photography in their work produced a new set of aesthetic possibilities that crucially altered the terms of both art and art photography.
520 $a The first chapter uses close readings of texts by Sol LeWitt, Lucy Lippard and John Chandler, and Joseph Kosuth to overturn the myth of conceptualism as a dematerialized anti-visual art. Readings of works by Kosuth, Robert Barry and Lawrence Weiner provide counter-arguments to the claim that conceptual art is essentially linguistic. The second chapter examines the engagement of conceptual artists including Bruce Nauman, Mel Bochner, John Baldessari, Jan Dibbets and Dennis Oppenheim with the conditions and limitations of photographic technology, and discusses such self-consciousness in the context of 1960s photographic aesthetics and fine art photography. The third chapter describes the N.E. Thing Co.'s rejection of Clement Greenberg's formalist aesthetics in favor of Marshall McLuhan's theorization of medium. The final chapter discusses Douglas Huebler's work in relation to Alain Robbe-Grillet's theorization of the nouveau roman. Throughout, the dissertation argues that conceptual art uses the combination of image and text to extend the modernist logic of criticality and self-reference into new domains, some visual and some existing in the mind's eye.
