TIM RUDNICK ART
Conceptual Art
From the beginnings of his involvement with conceptual art, including Fluxus in the early 1960s, Rudnick has maintained that meaning is determined by the imagination of the viewer. In this regard he builds on Duchamp’s declaration that “the viewer completes the work of art,” considering the audience even more proactive than Duchamp did.
