Art & Language is the name of a group of English artists who choose to work collectively, and the title of a magazine that they founded in 1968. Proposing a
critical analysis of the relations between art, society, and politics, Art & Language marks, even in its name, the importance of the “
textual turning point” in the 1960s.
Since 1976, Art & Language's project has continued, through Mel Ramsden and Michael Baldwin, with the literary and theoretical collaboration of Charles Harrison. Working with very varied mediums, from painting to rock, these co-founders of
Conceptual art remain, even today, attached to observing the consequences of what they themselves call the “depressing collapse of modernism.”
