	Postmodern art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postmodern art (sometimes called po-mo) is a term used to describe art which is thought to be after or in contradiction to some aspect of modernism.
		Postmodern art uses a vocabulary of media, genres or styles as parts of an extended visual language that goes beyond the boundaries of the modernist vocabulary.
		Seeing as such, postmodernism is in a sense art's reconcilliation of itself and its past, and postmodernists typically collect influences from all periods and schools, using several media in a given piece in a pastiche-like form.

	Postmodernism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Postmodern style is often characterized by eclecticism, digression, collage, pastiche, irony, the return of ornament and historical reference, and the appropriation of popular media.

	International Journal of Education & the Arts: Volume 3 Number 1
		Working from a reconstructive postmodern perspective of artistic practice within the context of a public school which enacted a conservative curriculum orientation I found myself engaging in a process of self-censorship by selecting themes and issues that would not be considered controversial within the context of this elementary school.
		In an attempt to legitimize the arts academically, DBAE presents a curriculum based in the in the "disciplines" of studio art, art history, aesthetics, and art criticism that is testable, sequential, and accountable (Pearse, 1992).
		Finally, although artists working from a postmodern reconstructionist stance may find working in the school a challenge, it is of critical importance that their voices be heard in the schools, as they may be able to encourage students and teachers to see and understand in ways that challenge modernist epistemological perspectives.

	Leonard Koscianski - Critical Postmodern Art
		In the midst of the postmodern art tumult of the 1980’s there emerged a group of artists whose artwork was outwardly focused and culturally critical in a broad Debordian sense.
		Critical postmodern art is based on the postmodern assertion that all artist perspectives are valid, but unlike postmodernism, the critical postmodern holds that greater understanding of society is possible by viewing it through the lens of individual artworks or narratives.
		The achiles heal of critical postmodern art may be an attempt to have both ways to be socially critical but at the same time retreat to the safety of postmodern multiplicity.

		Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion, and technology.
		Postmodern art (and thought) favors reflexivity and self-consciousness, fragmentation and discontinuity (especially in narrative structures), ambiguity, simultaneity, and an emphasis on the destructured, decentered, dehumanized subject.
		Postmodernism then is the critique of grand narratives, the awareness that such narratives serve to mask the contradictions and instabilities that are inherent in any social organization or practice.

		Sandler states, "it was never clear whether postmodernism constituted a radical break with what came before or was a continuation…moreover modernism and postmodernism were such ambiguous and slippery terms, and had been applied to such a diversity of styles, as to vitiate their usefulness as analytic tools" (Sandler 4).
		In the art world this is found in the so-called time-bound process art of postmodernism that is contrasted with the timeless object-art of modernism.
		Postmodernism is associated with time as ‘in the moment’ and is found in process art that is placed in its sociocultural context.

	Postmodern art
		Where modernists hoped to unearth universals or the fundamentals of art, postmodernism aims to unseat them, to embrace diversity and contradiction.
		Andy Warhol is an early example of postmodern art in action, with his appropriation of common popular symbols and "ready-made" cultural artifacts, bringing the previously mundane or trivial onto the previously hallowed ground of high art.
		Postmodernism may appear as the ultimate phase of modernism; it expresses what may happen in art after the modernist project appears to have ended.

	Guilford Chapter Excerpt
		The intense self-reflexivity of postmodern literature thus leads to a constant interruption of narrative, an untiring reminder to the reader that he or she is reading a text, language, a fiction, and not viewing a world without mediation.
		Such types of postmodern art are described by Hal Foster as a "postmodernism of reaction" (1983: xii) that is highly historicist, playing with forms of the past and generally affirmative toward the status quo, renouncing the modernist project of critique and opposition.
		Postmodernism is trying to get over the elitism not by dropping it, but rather by extending [through double coding] the language of architecture in many different ways-into the vernacular, towards tradition and the commercial slang of the street.

	Michael Newberry - Essays and Reviews by Others - Hicks
		The art world's symptoms of decline were part of the broader intellectual world's slipping into a sense that progress, beauty, optimism, and genuine originality were no longer possible.
		Art came to be a self-contained study of dimension, color, and composition.
		In the broader art world, a revolution depends on those who are capable of recognizing the original artist's achievement and who have the entrepreneurial courage to promote his work.

		Art becomes then a participatory experience, one in which the audience recieves, and handles as they may, the flows of libidinal energies which the artist set free.
		Art criticism, in this context, thus becomes something of an oxymoron, and is replaced instead by art supplement, in which the reviewer creates something in his/her review which carries forth the energies of the piece, giving a feel in his/her review of the impacts the piece creates.
		And thus the sense of control language has over art is gone, and the primary processes of the unconscious is freed and decodified from the socially constructed secondary processes of the ego.

		In The Postmodern Animal, Steve Baker explores how animal imagery has been used in modern and contemporary art and performance, and in postmodern philosophy and literature, to suggest and shape ideas about identity and creativity.
		Baker's book draws parallels between the animal's place in postmodern art and poststructuralist theory, drawing on works as diverse as Jacques Derrida's recent analysis of the role of animals in philosophical thought and Julian Barnes's best-selling Flaubert's Parrot.
		That is, whatever the hell the "postmodern animal" is. I'm not quite sure myself after trying to decipher this trendy gobbledegook.
