[Frameworks] seminal writing on American a/g film after 76

[Stashu Kybartas]

Perhaps we should just admit that the Avant-Garde ended where Post-Modernism and identity politics picked up. (the Post 70s chapters in Sitney notwithstanding). The take was driven into the heart of the Avant-Garde at the turn of this century with the web.

There is no avant-garde now.  The internet insures that NOTHING will stay avant - EVER.  

This is not nescessarily a bad thing.  Time to move on to the great future where everything is available to everyone all the time - no exclusive clubs anymore.

Keep the faith...
