1) One relationship that is brought up in the reading multiple times is the connection (or lack there of) between language and visual qualities. This connection, however, seemed to change every other page, and I am confused as to the significance. What is the relationship between language and the visual aspects of conceptual art that Buchloh and others refer to? Does the visual identify the linguistic entity? Is it the other way around? What is the structure of these two properties in this context?
2) In the section on Joseph Kosuth's Tautologies, it is mentioned in a quote that works of art are analytic and provide no information what-so-ever about any matter of fact (595). Then later on in the reading in the section on A Tale of Many Squares it says that the aim of the artist would be to gibe viewers information (599). Doesn't this seem to contradict the goals of conceptual art? Or is there a distinction between what they mean by information through the art vs. information through the artist?
