metamodernism and the avant garde
- james is metamodernisim in the same avenue, or a different one to contemporary art would you say? i mean both occur at the same time yes, but they have different agendas?
- James Collinsthere are contemporary artists doing it... but its still very new
- Alice Maclaurinso what is it exactly I am trying to understnad
- James Collinsie. the ybas are definatly not metamodernismthe position of sincerity in contemporary art i guess
- Alice Maclaurinso that article you just sent me was talking about metamodern women ect, so is it more of a classification of the times we live in across arts and culture or is metamodernisim something that can just be applied to art? I'm a bit confused
- James Collinsits more about the position of the new avant garde i guess
- Alice Maclaurinah okay
- James Collinspeople who want change not possible within the post-modern paradigm... but it can't be modernism becuase modernist positions are untenable in the post modern eraor at least... uncritically holding modernist positions
- James Collins
Metamodernist // Manifestowww.metamodernism.orgWe recognise oscillation to be the natural order of the world. We propose a pragmatic romanticism unhindered by ideological anchorage. We must go forth and oscillate! - Alice Maclaurinyou and your manifestos, talking of which, that manifesto you made in first year, do you still stick by it?
- James Collinswhat onemanifest often and stridently
- Alice Maclaurinyou said you made one and showed it to the tutors and they didn't like it
- James Collinsto a pointi have better ways to achive its aims than are stated in it thoughmore subtle and effective
- so i guess... yes
- Alice Maclaurinurgh im gunna have to read your metamodern manifesto later with a dictionary
- James Collinsin point 2 when they say its antonymous bastard child. they mean post modernismbasicly what they are saying in the metamodernist position is an osculation between modernism and post modernism
- Alice Maclaurinwhy didn't they just write that then!
- James Collinsthey did
- Alice Maclaurinoh no they didn't they wrote academic gibberish!
- James Collinspseudo academic gibberishi don't think artists have a responisbility to be clear communicatorsthey can talk how they likei am not sympathetic with them becuase they are good at retoric... just becuase they are right
