I think I know what you are doing, but the question is, what do you think you're doing?Troy Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515578686042143845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450676110202972132.post-27924165953216088412008-04-21T17:43:00.000-07:002008-04-21T17:43:00.000-07:00So, am I a nihilistic artists?So, am I a nihilistic artists?Todd Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735574643827102148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450676110202972132.post-85484477212402093412008-04-21T17:30:00.000-07:002008-04-21T17:30:00.000-07:00Certainly not all pomos are nihilistic, though the...Certainly not all pomos are nihilistic, though they are all challenging values, I think. And meaning as well. You can perhaps show that values and meaning are slippery without being outright nihilistic, but I think you are always threatening to be when you do such things. Not that we didn't need to go through the challenge, for certain. But part of the revaluation of values is the return to and affirmation of values and meaning.Troy Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515578686042143845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450676110202972132.post-35272016497248011692008-04-21T17:17:00.000-07:002008-04-21T17:17:00.000-07:00Pomo writers, many, but it would be harder to pin ...Pomo writers, many, but it would be harder to pin down pomo visual artists. Some are going out of their way to be nihilistic, but others are doing other things. Maybe a long time from now, historians can flush out what is going on with these artists. I was looking at a few lists of pomo artists on line and only some could be nailed down as being nihilistic. I love the quote! I guess Nietzsche set the nihilism barrer.Todd Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735574643827102148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450676110202972132.post-59505803436124489382008-04-21T16:15:00.000-07:002008-04-21T16:15:00.000-07:00To the extent that nihilism is the rejection of me...To the extent that nihilism is the rejection of meaning and value, much pomo art is nihilistic. Does it go as far as it could? No. As Nietzsche pointed out, most people are still too Christian to follow nihilism to is logical conclusion.Troy Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515578686042143845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450676110202972132.post-12270172194474265362008-04-21T14:44:00.000-07:002008-04-21T14:44:00.000-07:00I am the world's first fully-functioning, homicida...I am the world's first fully-functioning, homicidal artist.<BR/><BR/>JokerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
