Your reading this week discusses a variety of experimental ‘Neo-Avant-Garde’ art practices that emerged in the
post-war decades, many of which were in reaction to “Greenbergian modernism” of the 1940s and 50s (socalled due to the influence of Greenberg’s ideas on artistic values of that era). Citing 3 specific readings from
this week’s module (Paul Wood’s essay on the Neo-A.G. or any of the artist’s writings/interviews), write a short
response (300-500 words) that discusses the work of 2 ‘neo-avant-garde’ artists, paying special attention to the
particular strategies they used in their work and how those strategies altered, expanded, or critiqued the values of Greenberg.
