The avant-garde

The avant-garde pursues formally radical work that refuses existing conventions, often for explicitly ideological reasons, accepting that innovation requires alienating current audiences to reach future ones. Its projects range from the utopian to the destructive, but the core impulse is always to make the familiar strange enough to see anew.
