RE: Second Post: Exhibitions and Art Terms
I'm curious... what might this Post-Contemporary Art movement look like? Have you begun to witness cues to this next phase already? I wonder how technology and craftsmanship might play (or not play) a role in that evolution... Great post @awillbrown
@voronoi, my sense and note of the Post-Contemporary Art movement was more of a way to explain that Contemporary Art is a period of sorts, something akin Abstract Expressionism, etc. However I do think we may already be there, in the Post-Contemporary. I tend to think it's about self-awareness and innovation, less in terms of technical tools or craftsmanship but more in terms of awareness and the calculated use of strategies that define and criticize the present so incisively it is hard to argue with, and/or define new ideas about the future-present. This all gets very complicated! Last year summer's Berlin Biennale is a good example of this. Check it out!
Interesting @awillbrown! I recently heard an artist speak about a kind of "double-consciousness era" that we're entering. That our self-awareness (as you say) of creativity is being divided into consciousness that is physical and something digital. Anyway, I'll have to take a look at the Biennale...!
