	Postminimalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postminimalism is a term utilized in various artistic fields for work which is influenced by, or attempts to develop, the aesthetic of minimalism.
		However, since postminimalism includes such a diverse and disparate group of artists, it is impossible to enumerate all the continuities and similarities between them.
		A recent variant of postminimalism is to be found in the work of Tom Friedman, where absurdity and humour play a key role.

		Postminimalism was a series of individual responses to minimalism, a grabbing of ideas that were "in the air." It never formed a "scene" centered in New York or San Francisco or anywhere else, and the composers involved range in location from Maine to Mexico and from Florida to Hawaii.
		This is one reason postminimalism hasn't been perceived as a movement, but if you listen to a lot of music by the composers I'm about to bring up, the impression of a unified style is remarkably vivid, especially considering that these people had never heard each other's work.

	Downtown music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postminimalism — a style of music based on a steady beat and diatonic harmony, less linear or obvious than minimalism but taking over its ensemble concept of amplified chamber groups.
		Postminimalism was more a far-flung national movement than anything specific to Manhattan, but William Duckworth and Elodie Lauten are examples of New York-based postminimalists.
		Postminimalism and totalism were both bolstered by the emergence, starting in 1987, of the Bang on a Can festival, curated by Julia Wolfe, David Lang, and Michael Gordon.

		Postminimalism is a term utilised in various artistic fields for work which is influenced by, or attempts to develop, the aesthetic of minimalism.
		In visual art, postminimalism refers specifically to the work of those artists who utilise minimalism either as an aesthetic or conceptual reference point.
		The work of Eva Hesse is also postminimalist: it uses "grids" and "seriality", themes often found in minimalism, but is also usually hand-made, introducing a human element into art, so often missing in the machine or custom-made works of minimalism.

		And the piece established a number of precedents and typical characteristics for the style I call postminimalism: a reliance on minimalism's steady beat, diatonic tonality, and even formal archetypes, but an inclusiveness bringing together ideas from a daunting array of musical sources.
		Within its smooth exterior, postminimalism is a big melting pot in which all the world's musics swim together in unobtrusive harmony.
		Giteck is postminimalism's Pauline Oliveros, composer of deeply spiritual works that reach out to the universe through a wide array of world styles.

		Postminimalism, the New Tonality, the New Dissonance, the New Formalism: all these murky labels together circumscribe the concerns of the Bang On A Can composers, but no one term does their diversity justice.
		Postminimalism's rhythmic basis is audible in Michael Gordon's muisc, and especially in Strange Quiet.
		Gordon's rock roots show through in his steely instrumentation ("It was strange to be writing a quiet piece," the composer says, hence the title), but his love of odd-beat ostinatos is evident throughout, first in the opening seven-beat patterns, later in the aggressive alternation of seven- and nine-beat patterns.

	Music After Minimalism
		Postminimal composers tended to work in shorter forms than the minimalists, 15 minutes rather than 75 or 120, and with more frequent textural variety.
		Another way to characterize the postminimalism of these composers is negative: it was the exact antipodal opposite of serialism.
		Totalist music, like postminimalism, tends to be rather restricted in its harmonies, but unlike postminimalism, it doesn't adhere to consonance or prettiness.

		It was astonishing to uncover this prehistory of Postminimalism before Earthworks--and more broadly Postminimalism--began to coalesce as an identifiable style later in the 1960s and the early 1970s.
		One explanation for the multiplicity and simultaneity of presentations of loosely structured, environmentally contingent works and exhibitions could be that they were all implicitly manifesting the massive social and political instabilities of the era.

		Robert Morris, an originator of minimal sculpture, chronicled the transition-in-progress from minimalism to postminimalism.
		But he had turned against the aesthetic of minimal sculpture in two articles, "Anti-Form" (1968) and "Beyond Objects" (1969), in which he formulated a rationale for the postminimal tendency labeled process art.
		Morris had come to believe that minimal sculpture was not as physical as art could or should be because the formation and arrangement of its rigid modular or serial units was not inherent in their material.

		In the '80s Eastern Europeans picked up postminimalism with a vengeance, and turned it into something very different from the American variety.
		American postminimalism is mostly melodic and rather clean in its musical logic; Euro-postminimalism is more casual about throwing noises and melodies together in one piece, in a less linear, stream-of-consciousness style.
		Postminimalism may, in fact, be the wrong term: The style may come more from a Slavic melodic heritage simply untouched by serialism.

		Well, my perception is that, most importantly, there have been two major movements that have grown out of minimalism, which I and others call postminimalism and totalism.
		Both of these are very widespread movements, especially postminimalism, which has dozens of adherents from Hawaii to Florida and from Maine to Mexico.
		Of course, you can say, and some will, that postminimalism and totalism haven’t attracted much public attention: ergo, they are not the Big New Ideas.

	DUCKWORTH \| biography
		As a composer, Duckworth is considered the founder of Postminimalism, and his hour-long Time Curve Preludes for piano defines the postminimal style.
		Since their 1979 premiere, these preludes have been heard on five continents, including the Spoleto Festival USA, where they were performed during the first live webcast ever given from the festival; the Festival of Havana, where they were broadcast in the streets; and New York's Merkin Hall, for the 20th-anniversary celebration of their premiere.
		He has also recorded with the Electric Phoenix in London, and supervised the bi-continental premiere of his Gathering Together/Revolution, for mallet percussion, keyboards, and drums; a two-part work written in the summer of 1992 and the winter of 1993 for Rome's Ars Ludi and New York's Essential Music, respectively.

		The two slabs of vivid yellow Plexiglas throw wavelike reflections on the gallery ceiling that are quite at odds with the matte metal and firebrick floor works Carl Andre is known for.
		One of the reasons for Postminimalism’s failure to close the gap between art and life was its rejection of the popular aesthetics of its era.
		White and other artists of her generation have embraced the style and function of applied arts to an extent not seen since the days of the Bauhaus.

		This means that things proceed one after another in progression, reacting to the thing which came before it, then reacting to itself before being reacted to by something new or contrary (reacted against).
		Now in the 21st Century, Minimalist thought is nothing new but rather has been relegated to Postmodernism's box of historic, appropriable tricks--postmodernism being the logical art movement after the end of the search for the ideal (modernism); supposedly the last linear thought at the end of linear thinking.
		Though he had always been involved in "rational thought" in visual design, as pertains to architecture and furniture-making, about a decade ago he made the decision to relieve himself of the "huge burden" of rational thought.

		In its general musical usage, Postminimalism refers to music influenced by, but different from, Minimalism.
		Despite this last, minimalist procedures such as additive/subtractive process and phase-shifting are common in postminimalism, though usually as underlying structure rather than surface effect.
		The style has also shown an omniverous capacity for absorbing influences from world and popular musics (Balinese gamelan, bluegrass, Jewish cantillation, and so on).

	Guggenheim Collection - Glossary - Post-Minimalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rather than adhere to pure formalism, Post-Minimalist artists often made explicit the psychical and physical processes involved in the actualization of art and often reflected personal and social concerns in their works.
		In his 1987 book Postminimalism to Maximalism: American Art, 1966–1986, Pincus-Witten describes its progression as threefold: pictorial/sculptural, epistemological, and ontological (e.g., conceptual theater/body art).
		The first, developing circa 1968, emphasized the manufacturing of art and the use of unconventional materials, frequently manifesting a newfound consideration of themes and media previously deemed too feminine, or "soft," according to the Minimalist canon, as can be seen in Eva Hesse s rope and latex pieces and Barry Le Va s scatter installations.

		He considered the permutation of these materials the way, for example, salt crystals would change and evolve over time as ingredients in the building of the Spiral Jetty.
		Postminimalism was a further extension of eccentric abstraction which included aspects of earth art and Site Specific sculpture.
		The tactile appearance of these hybrid forms suggested a decision-making process in the plasticity of the materials, though gradually this aspect of the work subsided in favor of another type of standardization.

		In the words of Fanfare reviewer, Kyle Gann, “Downey is a musician for whom the ‘isms’ seem not to exist.
		His music is both tonal and dissonant, lyrical and yet too thorny to fall into categories of either conservatism, new romanticism, or postminimalism.
		There are no gimmicks here, no systems, and little to indicate whether the pieces were written in 1930, 1980, or yesterday...his music is filled with solid musicianship....” His output encompasses music for a variety of media, from chamber, symphonic, and choral compositions, to electronic tape with light sculpturing and partially controlled improvisation, to computer?

		Every one of the 14 movements fell into one of these four categories, and similar movements were mainly distinguishable by meters, of which Sollima uses an admittedly interesting array: 7/8, 5/8, a Philip Glassian 3 x 2 versus 2 x 3, and some that went by too quickly to count.
		It's refreshing to hear a European writing in an American style like postminimalism, and I could name a couple dozen Americans whose music his fits in with: Duckworth, Dresher, Giteck, Lauten, Lentz.
		One hopes Sollima doesn't become the newest incarnation of the Arvo Pärt phenomenon, another Euro-Benny Goodman making hay off new music's Fletcher Henderson: Some Continental Johnny-come-lately barges in and plays Carnegie Hall with an idiom that Americans had long developed to greater depth and complexity at Roulette.

		Totalism - another style emerging from minimalism but taking it in the direction of rhythmic complexity and rock-inspired beat momentum.
		The above list of movements and idioms is far from exhaustive - in particular, it omits the continuous history of electronics in Downtown music, which have tended toward process-oriented and interactive music rather than fixed compositions.
