Dan Graham: I hate Conceptual Art - An Artist Interview
I totally don't agree with him saying that conceptual art is only about philosophy. You simplified conceptual art way too much man. Conceptual art is about ideas, philosophy is just one of them, it needs art to present the philosophy. I love you Dan Graham but I don't agree with you this time.
Cubism, Dada, Abstract Expressionism, Pop are all new movements coming from new ideas that succeeded in self-consciously expanding the boundaries of art!
you are just making another conceptual theory by pushing conceptual art to another extreme. I know you do! You don't hate it, you literally saying that you love it.

Yes conceptual art implied that aesthetics, expression, skill and marketability were all irrelevant standards, but the value of it is keep reflecting what is art. Much Conceptual art is self-conscious or self-referential. We absolutely need it.
By the way, artist interview may or may not be a mode of acting only. can't be always true, im quite skeptical about his words.
