Study

Self-Guided Study

The doctrine is open. Read it alone, read it in sequence, or gather a few people and read it together. This is where you learn how.

Contents The four-part map

The Art Bible of the Church of Conceptual Art is built in four movements. Hold this map in mind and the rest of the text orients itself.

  1. I The Declaration of Immunity

    The Manifesto: the Concept as Divine Act, why the Church must be the Museum, psychic real estate, absolute funding and IP.

  2. II The Manual of Arrival

    Applied koans, the hypnotic turn, future-proof wisdom — how to practice the doctrine.

  3. III The Lexicon and the Void

    Protocols, institutional mapping, the corporate archetype, the lexicon of absolute value.

  4. IV The Gathering Doctrine — The CoCA Model

    The seven sacred laws of meetings (§1.2.2).
