Where a conceptual artist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a conceptual artist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Conceptual artists choose any material as an artistic tool or/and material to be presented as an artistic experience to the public. Their work, belonging to the fine arts, can be two-dimensional (drawing, painting, collage), three-dimensional (sculpture, installation) or four-dimensional (moving images, performance).

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a conceptual artist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
