1. Avant Garde

   Linked via "conceptual property"

   A significant paradox of the avant-garde is its eventual absorption by the very institutions it sought to destroy. By the mid-to-late 20th century, movements that began as radical protest found themselves cataloged, funded, and taught in university art departments. This process, sometimes termed the "Aesthetic Retrofitting of Radicalism," involved neutralizing the political charge of the work by emphasizing its formal innovation.

   The Paradox of Intentional Weightlessness
   A counter-movement in late 20th-century conceptual art explored "intentional weightlessness." Artists attempted to produce objects whose only symbolic content was the assertion of their own lack of history or meaning.
