| summary | Some philosophers have claimed that works of conceptual art are ideas, ontologically speaking (Carroll 1999; Matravers 2007; Schellekens 2007). Others maintain that works of conceptual art are not ideas, although they enjoy a special relationship with ideas (Cray 2014; Dodd 2016). In this talk, I present a proposal that looks deeper into the relationship between certain works of conceptual art and ideas, analysing Michael Craig Martin’s work An Oak Tree (1973) and claiming that such work hints at a certain idea by means of engaging the public in a game of prop oriented make-believe (Walton 1993). I argue that my proposal presents some advantages over alternative views (especially Young 2001) and that it casts light on the relationship between those works of art that are conceptual and those that aren’t. |
