  abstract: "Considers the enduring legacy of California Conceptualism, known for its lax approaches to creating, writing about, and exhibiting art. Moving away from making objects, and turning instead to staging scenes, the artists associated with California Conceptualism-including Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, David Lamelas, Tony Ramos, Ilene Segalove, and William Wegman-behaved indifferently toward their art, denied making it and knowing what it was about, and displayed a lack of concern for its future. Their casual attitude and aesthetic transformed relationships between artists, critics, and viewers, separating those who could recognize these practices from those who could not. Contemporary artists have continued this trajectory, finding new ways to act casually through their "stance." In the humanities, this term is often taken to mean the beliefs, values, and intentions of authors, and it has offered a useful way to think about how artists position themselves toward their work and audiences. Jacob Stewart-Halevy builds on recent social theory to show how artists, critics, and other members of the art world wield stance to make sense of artworks and their social circumstances, arguing that, through the rise of conceptual art, stance has come to supplement-and in some cases replace-the aesthetic quality of artworks"--
