"The present 'movement' has yet to be defined. Like other "isms" in art, the critic often comes up with a catchy name. Since there is no consensus on today's movement -- art is all over the board"
I found the above statement and I wasn't sure what to think of it so I thought I would post it for some feedback. Agree? Disagree? Other thoughts?

we're in a period - not unlike the 80's - of relational art... I.E. nothing is new, but is given meaning by its context.
Anyways - just my opinion...

We are kinda floating around in terms of a movement right now. The world is too big and diverse to define something these days. There's a push with a lot of the younger generation in Assemblage/Found Object Art. New Media Art has been on the verge of becoming something that has legs, but hasn't quite got off the ground yet in being legit "art". Bigger and bigger seems to be better. I feel like the 80's explored a lot of new ideas in Pop and Abstraction, pushed some significant boundaries on sexuality, defined some new mediums like Graffiti as Art, and pushed conceptualism and anti-art in a lot of ways. I see a lot of rehashed ideas these days... some are very clever, but rarely push things ahead.

When there is a movement in only one direction art is stifled stylistically.
It's perfectly fine for there to be no unidirectional movement, as long as there is movement to explore, improve and create objects and experiences that challenge people to think. I'm not talking of schlock like the 'Rape Tunnel' hoax, but real, deep and visceral art that forces people to think about the human condition.
Each artist should find their own voice and respond to it in a way that doesn't necessarily follow anyone else.

Haha.
