I also liked the Art Since 1900 chapter on the legacies of photo conceptualism. I had never really though of people like Rosler and Sekula as being politicized versions of Ruscha and Baldassari but that argument makes a lot of sense. I do sort of artists in those terms a lot though, like Gonzalez Torres as a more soulful and political version of Minimalism or Jenny Holzer as a more poetic or energized version of Mel Bochner. Well that’s not fair, I love Mel Bochner, but you know what I mean.
