" The meaning of a work of art was mapped along a number of cognitive axes, its affinities and differences with other images being just one of those-and not neccesarily the strongest. Art was a public, philosophical school; manipulative imagery serving superstitious belief and private gratification could be had from a thousand other sources." ..Thomas Crow unwritten histories of CConceptual Art (In Art after conceptual Art Alberro&Buchanan) "Hmmmm, " pondered Gordon the gorilla: "Personally I wonder about all this. I am not,as it happens, an undergraduate in this philosophical academy, I am a simple middle aged gorilla seeking to make sense of things as best he can-the ideologies of Art are just that and I did not write them nor pay dues to their masters."
