Notes on the Continual Validity of Modernism as a Viable Environmental Language by Kenneth Frampton

In addition to the ModernismToday symposium 'Transforming Rietveld' on October 21st a report by keynote speaker Professor Frampton.

Notes on the Continual Validity of Modernism as a Viable Environmental Language - Kenneth Frampton

How may one approach this issue today as opposed to thirty years ago when Paolo Portoghesi staged his Venice Biennale of 1980 under the demagogic title The End of Prohibition & the Presence of the Past; an event that is generally regarded as having inaugurated the Post Modernist style, as opposed to the general Post Modern condition, which, as given the circumstances of our time one can hardly refute.

UM - MODERNISMTODAY

From the beginning of the twentieth century, followers of Modernism have strived for the creation of 'a new world for new people'. The initiative MODERNISMTODAY concentrates on the role that Modernism has always played in present-day art and culture.

MODERNISMTODAY is part of UTRECHT MANIFEST, biennial for social design.

MODERNISMTODAY - Hoe leeft dat in Rusland? i.s.m. De Hermitage

Vanaf het begin van de twintigste eeuw streefden de aanhangers van het modernisme naar het scheppen van een nieuwe wereld voor de nieuwe mens. Het initiatief MODERNISMTODAY concentreert zich op de rol die deze stroming - nog altijd of juist weer opnieuw - speelt in de actuele kunst en cultuur. Vanuit een gevoelde urgentie in de ontwerpdisciplines kijken we terug naar de wortels ervan. En dan met name vanuit het perspectief dat zich onder de noemer "Social Design" begint te vormen. Het initiatief wil middels een aantal debatten en lezingen hieraan bijdragen.... more
