isms ,[object Object],[object Object],The movement has had diverse political ramifications: its anti-ideological insights appear conducive to, and strongly associated with, the feminist movement , racial equality movements, gay rights movements , most forms of late 20th century anarchism , even the peace movement and various hybrids of these in the current anti-globalization movement . Unsurprisingly, none of these institutions entirely embraces all aspects of the postmodern movement, but reflect or, in true postmodern style, borrow from some of its core ideas. “ I was socialised into an essentially Anglo-Saxon Eurocentric society where attitudes to indigenous people still seemed entrenched at a Social-Darwinist level…….predominantly derogatory opinions about indigenous people are exchanged with unquestioning ease and assurance” Art Now –p.42 - 4Victoria Lynn, Strangers in Paradise,AGNSW, Sydney,1992,p.22 GORDON BENNETT – Self portrait 1990 feminism Cindy Sherman’s photographs from the 1980’s assume a feminine perspective in their attention to issues such as sex stereotyping and attempt to make us consider the manner in which women are portrayed in the media P17 Art Now

A LITERARY ANALOGY The boldness of the print,the borders of the page, the quality of the paper, footnotes, are all instances of “apparently peripheral fragments” which contribute towards textural meaning. (Eagleton, 1989)

Parallel fields: art & advertising Kruger's work addresses the cultural representations of power, identity and sexuality, and challenges the spectacles of stereotypes and cliches. Since 1980, her work with pictures and words has developed into a highly recognizable, consistent visual language. In her iconic photo/text montages, the artist juxtaposes striking images with equally striking phrases like "Your body is a battleground," "We have received orders not to move," and "I shop therefore I am."

blurring of boundaries ,[object Object],Laing’s work is all about dramatisation, using people, props and stunts to create mini performances in which the landscape symbolises something other than the ‘usual’. From these elements Laing crafts beautiful, hyper real images that seem impossible. But there is no digital manipulation here. Her approach is unique in its use of real-time events, tailor made installations and performers. She works in collaboration with the community of each area as well as professionals from a range of disciplines, from film stunt producers to carpet manufacturers, to create works of cinematic scale that combine panoramic vistas with the unexpected. Rosemarie Laing Tracey Moffatt Arguably Australia’s most successful contemporary artist, Tracey Moffatt can best be described as a director of photo narratives, expertly incorporating photography and filmmaking into her work. In her photographs and films, highly choreographed sound, lighting, colour and composition form the structure of a complex and multi-layered narrative.

cynicism ,[object Object],Drunk with God 1983 Many artists deploy cynicism eg. post colonial artist Gordon Bennett Bennet’s interest in Amarican affairs and how this effects Australia began in the late 1990s with his Notes to Basquiat series which culminated in an exhibition relating to the September 11 terrorist attack on New York. Yet, the terror of colonialism and the trauma of being Australian that had previously preoccupied Bennett have not been forgotten. Rather, they have been displaced onto contemporary global events, as if Bennett is developing an art of reportage. “ Camauflage

Mass media ,[object Object],[object Object],… ..Other thinkers assert that post-modernity is the natural reaction to mass broadcasting and a society conditioned to mass production and mass political decision making. The ability of knowledge to be endlessly copied defeats attempts to constrain interpretation, or to set "originality" by simple means such as the production of a work.

Patricia Piccinini INDIVIDUALITY ,[object Object],"I made a quite difficult decision," she says. "I needed to give away painting because I thought it had too much sort of cultural baggage. I couldn't find a way to depict these new ideas in oil and so it meant I had no skills. And then I thought if I can't do anything, I can do everything if I work with other people, and that's when I started collaborating ."

Archibald Prize 2005 Rodney Pople pays homage to Goya’s portrayal of the Duchess of Alba (1797) by recasting the duchess as the contemporary artist Kerrie Lester. He has appropriated this image from art history for fun and to show the historically fluid quality of meaning –particularly the cryptic element of ‘writing in the sand’ to show Lesters’ involvement with the Archibald Prize.
