Lewitt on Conceptual Art Response

This piece i felt a lot for. I very much identify with the concept that traditional art is rational. I've always felt this. The conceptual art genre seems to break boundaries and that is its primary function. I feel this piece is still very relevant, due to the aversion of traditional artists to the conceptual. To many, if it isn't painting drawing or sculpture, it's not art. We as artists are still fighting this, and still fighting the drive to push the envelope. Personally, i feel that the only true art is the conceptual. Always furthering the artist mind set. It is out of conceptual art where new processes come. I also feel that processes in the conceptual can become the new norm, invalidating their former avant-garde qualities.
