What is Post Autonomy?

What is Post Autonomy?


http://www.postautonomy.co.uk

The term Post Autonomy was invented by the German Conceptual artist Michael Lingner, then taken up and developed into a full theoretical concept and working practice by David Goldenberg.

A quote from a recent statement about Post Autonomy

"Post Autonomy reflects the state of contemporary art. The website is intended to function as a meeting place and hub for discussion and exchange of ideas that extend an understanding of Post Autonomy. Post Autonomy stems from the idea that modern art=autonomy, as research or understanding of autonomy, has reached its limits in comprehending autonomy, in that respect art can be seen to have exited autonomy. What comes after Autonomy in art can be discussed by Post Autonomy. Using a practice-orientated analysis of cultural, social, and political forces the aim is to develop a new mental framework out of which art can be reinvented."
