review on Front Row 22.9.2011
Post-Modernism
Known as "pomo" also "nono"
Some visitors will arrive feeling hostile towards subject
Exhibition a difficult remit
Chairs you can not sit in
Building without doors
2,000 year old Ming vase with Coca Cola on it
post-modernism the death of modernism … !?
not about cynicism
could be seen as expansive and radically optimistic
good fun, not a great deal to say for itself
opposite of killing a butterfly with a hammer
lot left out of exhibition …
covers of music albums
what was the fatal blow to pomo … its’ not dead!!
More diffused now
Paper architecture; "Marginally functional" paper chairs!
