Noart

An outlier in the art-historical canon, Mangelos abandoned traditional mediums and forms of expression in favor of a playful, at times ironic, ethos of “anti-art.” Using the written word as his primary material, he aimed to shift our attention from art’s physical substance to its philosophical meaning. The conceptual quality of his work challenges our assumptions about the forms art can take.This child’s chalkboard displays a single invented word: “noart.” The artwork has particular significance for Mangelos as it was the only object presented in the artist’s self-conceived retrospective, a type of exhibition that typically represents the full breadth of an artist’s career.
