Very quick post: I found Anderson's discussions on art to be one of the more worthwhile sections of _Origins_, outlining the after effects of Jameson's "capture" of postmodernity on the art world (or just approaches to art in the seventies and on)--new topics to our class/me. I found his description of the citra vs. ultra approaches after the crisis of postmodernity particularly interesting and I keep refering back to it, trying to place certain artists (especially contemporary ones and the ones A. offers) within this dichotomy with varying success... Is there nothing beyond these two approaches, that truly doesn't hold postmodernism as a central theme to participate in/react against? One thought: could bricolage be considered an "ultra" approach? And can it be said with complete certainty that, in the postmodern, the citra inevitably predominates over the ultra? Where does art stand today...?

Gotta go to work, more thoughts on this later...
