In the '80s you had the feeling you could take art in your hands and put it somewhere else, next to something else, whatever you wanted. The process art, Minimal art, and Conceptual art of the '60s and '70s gave so much respect to the object itself, to all the mystery around the piece, which was just a development of what came before. But in the '80s there was
a kind of freedom where you could do wrong with artworks without being blamed.
