3. Mel Bochner was a pioneer of conceptual art in the '60s, and made work that reflected his interest in systems for organizing concepts and in analyzing the institutions that define art. In 1969 he recorded the dimensions of museum walls and doorways and displayed those measurements to full scale in the rooms where they were taken using tape and stencils.
4. Bochner’s work has been included in some of the most significant exhibitions of Conceptual art, including the seminal "When Attitudes Become Form" at the Kunsthalle Bern, curated by Harold Szeeman in 1969, and "Information at the Museum of Modern Art" in 1970.
