P3(aesthetic revolutions) ‘avant gardes that
strive to reach beyond art into “life” and aim to transform the world”
Called “extreme” “politicized” “revolutionary”
“radical” “artistic-social” “poetico-political” “aesthetic-political”
The avant garde aims to “transform
our ways of experiencing and sensing the world. To change the manner in which
we perceive and experience reality”
Fourierste Gabriel-Desire Laverdant
wrote”to know … weather the artist is truly of the avant garde, one must know
where humanity is going, know what the destiny of the human race is”
“If man is ever to solve the problem
of politics in pratcie he will have to approach it through the problem of the
aesthetic, because it is only through beauty that man make his way to freedom.”
Similaryly, Jacques Ranciere has
recently argued that “social revolution is the daughter of aesthetic
revolution”
The 1960s neo-avant garde practices
alternative lifestyles – including communal living. This is an idea that George
promoted through soho. Can this be used today? Could it help with issues of
expensive rent.
P4 “that art move from representing
to transforming the world”
This was demand was there common
call for art and “life to become one.
Petere Burgers Hegelian terms- “to
Sublate” art: “art was not to be simply destroyed, but transferred to the
paraxis of life where it would be preserved, albeit in changed form”
Cultural revolution is characterized
by a redistribution of the sensible.
“American noe avant-garde artworks,
he suggests, are less likely to be assertive instantiations of an ideological
position than they are to be specific and singular occasions for members of the
audience to experience an individual aesthetic and political awakening, thereby
promoting the very sorts of diffrences that constitute the texture of freedom
in society.”
