Art Press Revisits Supports/Surfaces Movement
The French magazine art press has revisited its editorial choices by reexamining the Supports/Surfaces movement through the lens of conceptual art, a topic it has covered extensively over the past decade. The movement, more contradictory than any avant-garde, rehabilitated painting—considered archaic by other avant-gardes—while espousing radical political positions and relying on psychoanalysis.
