Los Angeles HOOOOOO!
Sadly that's more of a battle cry than an identification. I'm back, Mom in tow, and ready to rumble, by which I mean work for Psychic Bunny some more.
In the meantime, I leave you with this thought: While in Seattle hanging out with Sarah's design friends they were all talking about Supermodernism (some, it seemed, more jokingly than others). I'm not actually all that concerned with what Supermodernism is, but it sounds like regular Modernism but warmed over and slightly updated for the current state of the world. That's all fine and good, and certainly better than post-modernism, but I would really appreciate it if people would start coming up with new schools of thought rather than just adding prefixes to the old ones.

I second that motion.
however in our modern age with all of our communication devices that have made it easier to bring us all together and share ideas and art movements it seems that in some ways we have created too much interacting so that the idea of an art movement is almost impossible. Because its all too accessible.
i think in order for there to be new terms for new art movements people have to close themselves off from the world. create a conclave of like minded people to feed off of each others ideas and then go be on their own to grow the ideas. which has pretty much been the case with most art movements of the past 200 years. they make stuff, they get together share stuff, (each other or their spouses, drugs, ideas) someone comes up with a name, sometimes that person is from the press and then they all disperse and create, exhibit and see each other at parties and write letters to each other about what is inspiring them and of course a couple have to die tragically.
but at the end of the day i feel that there are just too many people making crap these days for their to be any good names for art, much less an art movement. we need to kill off some of the bad artists out there so the good ones can actually be realized and given a cool art movement name like superlative or in this moral driven republican era maybe libertine is a good one.
