Conceptual art has recently begun to attract attention once again through such exhibitions as Global Conceptualism, which have been influenced by the conceptual approaches of contemporary artists. However, because the consequence of canonizing work in this way is its institutionalization - which is exactly what the conceptual artists of the sixties rebelled against, in both their work and attitudes - it is important that this new attention for conceptual art should be deployed to create an opening beyond what has been, while preserving and building on a critical approach to this 'field of research'.
