Invisible: Art about the Unseen 1957 - 2012

Invisible: Art about the Unseen 1957 - 2012 was an exhibition held this past summer at the Hayward Gallery in London. It covers experiments in the world of conceptual art that dealt inventively with eliminating the physical materiality of art works. It is important to remember that most of the work in this exhibition is actively engaged in questions related to the gallery as the place for exhibiting and selling art. Nevertheless you all may benefit from others' endeavors in grappling with the term 'invisible.' Below are some links to reviews of the show itself. Take a moment to read some of the comments at the end to see how annoyed and suspicious people seem to be about "invisible art.' Are you?
