Josh,
I'd LOVE to see an original definition of conceptual art.
Send it to me!
BTW I'm reading Lawrence Durell's The Black Book now. Can I participate
in yr Durell project?

Howdy y'all,
I was at the library this evening, just browsing (I love browsing through the
library: so many subjects to read about). I was once again thinking of which Duchamp
biography to read (any suggestions? I have been reading a string of
biographies/autobiographies lately: Stanislaw Lem, Aldous Huxley, Nancy Cunard,
Thomas Bernhard; who will be next?), and right above the Duchamp bios was that Oxford
University Press book "Art Trends Since 1945" (or "Trends in Art Since 1945"?).
Something compelled me to look in it, although I have looked in it before. Lo and
behold, someone had left some index cards in it. One was blank, one had a sentence
fragment on it, and the third, the third, had a 35-word definition of "Conceptual
Art" scrawled on it. This last one I put in my pocket.
Now, I am offering this index card to a lucky one of you, in fact, the first one who
replies to me saying they want it. The only catch is that the winner has to send me a
non-blank index card in return (or something roughly the size of an index card). I
want to disqualify Ann K. because she finds Thomas Bernhard boring, but I possess a
forgiving nature, so she may enter for the card.
On your marks, get set...
