i dont agree. a movement in art isnt something to embrace as the rules of creating art. it is merely a classification of certain aesthetics or styles over a period of time. post-modern artists were under that heading because they shared some similar ideas.... but, as is obvious in post-mod, they had nothing in common production wise. mike and doug starn were light years away from william wegman...but they were both considered postmodern because of their underlying ideals.
you say to embrace diversity, and i couldn't agree more. that is why any new movement will be a mixture of many styles that have come before us. just looking at some of the links in the broadcasts on this and many other sites, you can see unlimited artistic styles: minimalism, futurism, modernism, etc...however they are all created under one new movement.
we are concerned with our technical abilities as artists, just as modernists were. However, we are also concerned with our ideas and integrity, as the post-mods were.
its a great mix of these aesthetics, integrity, and technique that define our new era in art.
