Re: Some thoughts on Post Modernism
Post Modernism (PoMo) represents, at its heart, the general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematic relationship with any concept of 'art'.
Typically it includes a deliberate mixing of different artistic styles and media. It includes the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions and in my opinion, it disfigures all arts, architecture and criticism to which it is/was applied.
