Conceptual art is concerned with the artist working. Art museums are
concerned with the work the artist produces. What we don't have are
adequate venues for presenting the artist working and the attempts we
see in the museum environment often misrepresent the artist since a
flowing process is frozen at one point.

This was also a problem for Leonardo da Vinci whose work is now
inadequately represented by his paintings.
