"As a method of analysis, examining the work's performative gesture offers the tools for both a synchronic and diachronic evaluation (that is both in its time and from todays standpoint). Understandig how a work communicates in context involves understanding how it, as a cultural artefact, engaged its environment, was historically produced and received; it also means understanding how the work as well as its critical potential are perceived today". pp 45, Image and Text in Conceptual Art, Palgrave Macmillan.
