Please Pay Attention Please

Conceptual Art: a historically delimited period style (Following Lucy Lippard and LAMOCA's Reconsidering the Object of Art I'd go with 1967-1973, as opposed to Wikipedia's 1967-1978, but internal disagreements exist).

Conceptualist: a creator of conceptual art. In wide use, and practically interchangable with the more awkward "conceptual artist." Equally employed by artists (qv. Mel Bochner's June 2005 Artforum review of Donald Judd's collected criticism), critics and art historians.

Neoconceptual: "Works which include the concept (idea) as an element in the realization of the work, and work with existing forms of behavior, pictorial presentation or culturally coded signpictures. Three approaches characterize the neoconceptual procedure: (1) the readymade strategy of taking over existing (finished) 'representations of a culture' as the signifier of art, (2) the use of presentation media as a 'generator' of meaning, and (3) a parallel presentation of different forms of representation, which means that the work is not being shown in order to tell a story, but in order to denote representative synchronized media differences, schisms and break-ups in presentation." (My slight abridgement of a definition originally proposed by Misko Suvakovic)

Neoconceptualist: a creator of neoconceptual art.
