Conceptual art is an evolving field of art that fuses the philosophies of many different artists. It can be broken down into many subgenres that can be used to have an impact on society. I will be discussing the works of several artists who made a mark in conceptual art. Marcel Duchamp (Elaine Sturtevant), and Robert Rauschenberg are just some of the names I'll be discussing. Then, I will briefly discuss the work of Lawrence Weiner.
Elaine Sturtevant
The American artist Elaine Sturtevant is commonly misunderstood. However, in the last decade, she has garnered great critical acclaim. The Museum of Modern Art in New York presented the retrospective "Sturtevant, Double Trouble" in 2014. It was the first U.S. museum to exhibit the artist's works since 1973.
Robert Rauschenberg
Robert Rauschenberg conceptual art is a style of painting that incorporates a conceptual component into the creation of a piece. Many prestigious institutions have the American artist's works, including Tate Modern and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Rauschenberg's work often draws on street materials such as paper or dirt, which can be a factor in his humanitarian efforts.
Marcel Duchamp
Conceptual art has many references to the notion of "readymade". Duchamp made readymades of everyday objects and turned them into works. Duchamp's symbolic works have themes like eroticism and desire. Duchamp wanted to prove that avant-garde art practices were not consistent with modernity. He also created readymades in response the prevailing social values including gender hierarchy and class.
Lawrence Weiner
Lawrence Weiner's works have been extensively exhibited around the globe. His works are held in many museums, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Weiner was raised in the South Bronx and attended Hunter College. He has also shown in many private collections around the globe.
Fountain by Marcel Duchamp
Francis M. Naumann, curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art's "Fountain" exhibit, is one of most important exhibitions of the 20th century. The work, which has many enduring meanings, is a turning-point in art history. It reveals Duchamp’s ambivalent approach to truth. Duchamp did not place importance on truth or objectivity in his works, and it is important to consider this in context.
Marcel Duchamp's urinal
Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain is the most prominent urinal in historical history. However there is much controversy over its identity. It was designed by Duchamp and Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, and was submitted to the Society of Independent Artists in 1917. Although the urinal was not accepted, it is considered an important piece of conceptual art. It was displayed at New York's Grand Central Palace.
Marcel Duchamp's One and Three Chairs
Kosuth's assemblage of a folding chair with the full-scale image of a chair and an enlarged dictionary definition of a chair are considered Duchamp's readymades. Both works challenge the meaning of a chair and emphasize the connection between language, picture, and language. They also ask how art is made using language and whether art can exist for its own sake. Duchamp's readymades have inspired Kosuth to create this work.

What is pop media?
Pop culture is all around. Pop culture is everywhere you go: radio, television, film, music and magazines. We are surrounded by it 24/7. It is everywhere, including our clothing, food, language, politics, religion, and music. So what exactly is pop culture? Wikipedia states that pop culture refers to products and ideas designed for mass consumption. Most people believe that pop culture refers to movies, television, music, fashion, or other entertainment. Pop culture does not only include entertainment. The term describes anything consumed by the masses, such as video games, sports, toys, clothing, fast food, political campaigns, and many others.
What can pop-culture teach us?
Our society today places more importance on material goods than all other things. This is especially true with young people. They spend hours each day staring at screens. They surf the internet, watch movies, and play video games. They lose focus of school work because they are constantly distracted by these distractions. This leads to them failing classes.
Everyone wants to fit in. That means being popular. Popularity is dependent upon having money, clothes and other possessions. This can lead to some people doing things that aren’t right.
Technology has made us too dependent. We now have access to all types of information thanks to technology. Not all information is correct. False rumors can be found all over the Internet. These rumors spread quickly because people share them on social media sites. It's easy just to post something and not verify its authenticity.
People have lost the ability to think critically. People believe everything they see on the Internet. They believe what they see on TV and in magazines. They stop thinking for their own sake. Instead, they follow others.
We lose control of our lives when we depend on others to tell we what's going on. Pop culture teaches you to depend on others. It also makes us lazy. While the truth is often out there, we don't always know it.

Everyone can remember exactly where they were when the attacks occurred. Some people jumped out of their beds and went outside. Others read newspapers or watched TV.
Pop culture is always changing. It reflects society and provides inspiration. What will happen to popular culture in the next year? It's too early to tell. We do know it will be better than it was before.
