Joseph Kosuth (1993 [1966-1990]):
"Perhaps art consists of experiencing abstractions of experience" (Ibid., 122)
"…artist-as-anthropologist’s theory as praxis" (ibid., 117)
"A non-static ‘depiction’ of art’s (and thereby culture’s) operational infrastructure is the aim of an anthropologized art" (ibid., 121)
​
NIKOLAI SSORIN-CHAIKOV (2013):
"Artifacts are facts of sorts" (Ibid., 16)
"Conceptual art experiments with the reduction of art objects to concepts (…) A work of art (…) equals questioning what art is, a depiction of how whatever is taken as art is framed and situated. It makes art out of its audiences and their reactions" (ibid., 7)
