The Vancouver School of conceptual[1] or post-conceptual[2] photography (often referred to as photoconceptualism[3]) is a loose term applied to a grouping of artists from Vancouver starting in the 1980s.[1] Critics and curators began writing about artists reacting to both older conceptual art practices and mass media by countering with "photographs of high intensity and complex content that probed, obliquely or directly, the social force of imagery."[1] No formal "school" exists and the grouping remains both informal and often controversial[4] even amongst the artists themselves, who often resist the term.[4] Artists associated with the term include Vikky Alexander, Roy Arden, Ken Lum, Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace,[3] Stan Douglas and Rodney Graham.[5]
