WORD OF THE DAY: POST CONTEMPORARY ART Since Contemporary Art is defined as: Art which owes its foundation to post-modernism, and whose concepts focus primarily on transient issues of the present moment - as opposed to simply art being created within our lifetime... Then Post Contemporary is a separate paradigm whose primary concepts address the timeless, eternal, and the human condition. In contrast with the pre-modernists, i.e. before the 20th century, the post contemporary is concerned with re-constructing meaningful traditions, that were deconstructed in the post-modern paradigm... not necessarily in the same form as before, but drawing upon an unprecedented access to knowledge of every era in history. Though it draws upon the traditions of the past and is in continuity with the past, it is forward-looking. Post contemporary is not owned or originated by any individual. It is not a movement, but a philosophically driven paradigm shift within which many movements may take place - like modernism and post-modernism before it. The goal of this group is to foster dialogue and collaboration between these movements, to communicate its relevance, and to create an alternative to those contemporary/living whose work does not follow the paradigm of the Contemporary Art World.
