In describing a world whose central aesthetic paradigm of modernism had lost its vitality, with an \"avant-garde\" that reflected the culture of consumerism, her book struck a chord in an audience that had once responded to the heroic idealism of modernism. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReprinted many times, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHas Modernism Failed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ebecame one of the most popular and influential works of contemporary art criticism. Now Gablik has revised and expanded her work to encompass developments over the last two decades. A new prologue looks at changes in the cultural context of art, especially at the radical split between artists who still proclaim the self-sufficiency of art, \"in defiance of the social good,\" and artists who want art to have some worthy agenda outside of itself. In a new chapter, \"Globalization,\" she looks at the ruthless cultural homogenization of a universal consumer society and how a number of artists and curators are challenging it. And in a passionate new chapter called \"Transdisciplinarity\" she offers a way forward for individuals to break free of the limiting ideologies of modernism and consumerism and shows how some artists are reflecting both spiritual and social concerns in their art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Second-hand (good condition)","offer_id":58467965403471,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/8147\/files\/SuziGablik-HasModernismFailed_b594a45c-1241-4fce-bd99-1e1b7bd03fc6.jpg?v=1786632922","url":"https:\/\/www.legrandj.eu\/products\/suzi-gablik-has-modernism-failed","provider":"Le Grand Jeu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
