These are the only good posts, the argument devolves above either art student's conceptual pay grade at an obvious point

Anachronism

What a lot of the 'muh conceptual' conversation is missing is it's necessary point in reacting to social-economic and political change in their respective countries timelines. Looking at countries who 'arrived to Modernism late', it's easy to say they're copying Western trendsetters, but it fails to recognize that art achieved the de-contextualization, abstraction, eventual concreteism, even the full blown conceptual works (that are now notably de-culturalized and made for a Biennelle market more than anything, lot of EuroAm economic politics to drill into as much as self-exploitation by nonWestern artists) is that these works arrived at their place when they were /necessary/ modernism wasn't a part of a natural art evolution, just like the realism that most deluded muh masterpieces cling to wasn't. It was a response to a climate that made it necessary.
