Conceptualism

So we might cautiously admit to the correctness of "conceptualism" -- that anything we say about the objective or real features of the world in inevitably couched within a set of concepts or categories, and there is no uniquely best set of concepts on the basis of which to analyze experience. ❋ Daniel Little (2008)

A leading figure in the movement known as conceptualism, Kosuth sought to give the idea of a work of art and how it could be presented (in language or in reproduction) a status that was equivalent in value to its realization in material form.

Such a technocratic approach indicates to me doctrinalism (maybe even formalism) run amok; there's a crying need for some "conceptualism". ❋ Unknown (2007)

If you suggest a movement in the arts please try to narrow it down a little bit - 'conceptualism' is far, far too broad, for example. ❋ SebastianKnight (2009)

If your ears go back, like a frightened horse, at the word 'conceptualism' when applied to modern art, you may not be very pleased to know that this is a hot topic in landscape design at the moment. ❋ Unknown (2008)

"conceptualism," and ready, like Protagoras, to show us how man is the measure of all things and how the individual is the measure of man. ❋ John Cowper Powys (1917)

That kind of conceptualism is of a piece with the various "philosophies" mathematicians ” and scientists ” espouse not as a result of argument and reflection but as, one suspects, a means of deflecting them. ❋ Farrell, Robert (1982)

In their stark conceptualism, Cheng's paintings appear anything but sentimental or unifying. ❋ G. Roger Denson (2011)

Just as daunting is judging whether Cheng's paintings and drawings successfully conflate the artistic conceptualism that informs her work with the vibrantly painted forms through which her conceptualism is realized. ❋ G. Roger Denson (2011)

But what it says to me, in an era when conceptualism and language and words are very important, in the '60s and '70s, African-American artists were doing it. ❋ Dr. Tukufu Zuberi (2012)

They can manage arched eyebrows and knowing smiles, of course, and possibly hike up a few prices as a result, but proper full-on guffaws at the absurdity of it all – at the prospect of flogging recycled Warholia and half-cocked conceptualism to Chinese industrialists and impeccably orthodontured hedge-fund managers – that would never do. ❋ Tim Adams (2010)

The conceptualization brought about by C++20 [concepts] demonstrates how C++ is becoming less of a "practical" language and more of a "toy" language. You literally spend most of your fucking time creating the most [contrite] complex way to represent an otherwise simple object using templates, [enums], [const], constexpr, and other stuff. It's fun and it gets you high, but you ultimately waste most of your time figuring out the most expressive possible way to write code and totally lose sight of the end goal of actually getting stuff done and making things happen. ❋ Bad C Dev (2021)

Art Professor: So what [are you interested] in doing? [Art Student]: I'm thinking about doing a film, but not narrative or documentary or performance piece. Conceptually it's abstract and, uh....It's just a very [conceptual] piece. Art Professor: You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Art Student: No, no I don't. ❋ DizzySnazzle (2011)

[Conceptuality] is like when you meet a girl, you think [about all] the possible things that could happen, or need to happen in order to get with her and/or have a future relationship with. Pretty much I met a girl and wrote a sweet definition, hope [you enjoy]. ❋ Apratt_30 (2007)

I'm [currently] atempting to conceptuate my [concept]. My concept is currently under conceptuation. ❋ Datreefrog (2007)

conceptual [ideas] are found everywhere. [pink floyd's] [the wall] is a conceptual album. ❋ Eazy-X (2008)

I had conceptual sex after looking at that horse. [Pennsylvanian]: I think I just had conceptual sex. New [Jerseyian]: you thinkin about [your cousin] again lol . ❋ Yar Big Daddy (2017)

The boy went on an Abstract Conceptualization [hunt] for a [snipe] and was [unsuccessful]. ❋ Red-panther (2010)

Hym "I don't give a shit if I agree with you or even like you; Anyone can catch [these (conceptual) hands]. And catch them you will. In direct response to perceived slight. Or if I get disgruntled by a thing you've said that is entirely unrelated to me. Or a thing that reminds me of something I don't like that also reminds me of you. There are 0 reasons for which I will [not slang] these (conceptual) 'thangs'. 'Thangs' meaning 'hands'. But not actual hands. Conceptual ones. It might even be over something as little as me thinking you think a thing that I don't like people to think. Blam! Conceptual hands! Just like that. [It's that easy]. It happens that fast. 'Why is that (conceptual) fist flying at me?' you'll ask. But you're asking the wrong guy. You'd better ask my therapist because even I don't." ❋ Hym Iam (2022)

A time I experienced [recursive chronological-conceptualization], (this was before [the Nintendo Switch] [OLED] came out) I thought about ways to improve the shitty stand the Nintendo Switch has, and every time I thought about it, my brain went from a single stand on one side, to two on both sides, to an entire panel across the back and bottom half. ❋ VictoryGuard (2022)

I get [geo-locational conceptualization] in the shower, which is a fear of putting [Nair] in my hair instead of shampoo [on accident], but I never think of it outside the shower, and I've already forgotten about it before I get out. ❋ VictoryGuard (2022)
