Odium, mixed media, 2024

Students in this group chose to consider things that they have a strong dislike for but don't always admit to disliking for fear of being judged or not fitting in. Can you guess what their dislikes are based on what's in the boxes?

What is conceptual art?

In conceptual art, the concept or idea behind a work is prioritized over aesthetics, materials, and craftsmanship. Conceptual art asks questions about the nature of art, art making, and the role of the artist, as well as broader questions about life. Much of conceptual art relies on viewer participation/perception and can be experienced by turns as humorous, serious, anti-authoritarian, overly intellectual, or just plain nonsense. You decide!
