From Dry to Wet Conceptualism in Cognitive Capitalism

In celebration of ten years of programming, this year’s Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art in Paris, hosted by Centre des Récollets and Master in Arts & Vision of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, will look at alternative historical frameworks of Conceptual art in order to engage the newfound significance of this movement in the digital information age. To do this, we will introduce the novel category of “Wet” Conceptual art at a moment when the knowledge economy and the significance of mind, brain and consciousness have never been more important.
