Minimalism.

What is #minimalism, exactly? A post-WWII art movement originating in America? A fad? A collective response to the insatiable greed and relentless destruction of capitalism? Something you've seen in bad Netflix documentaries? An architectural style? A musical style? An aesthetic? A faux philosophy? A rather profound philosophy? Maybe it's a little of all of the above. Who are we to say? 

The art movement, as traditionally understood back in the 60s and 70s, was perceived as a reaction against abstract expressionism and modernism. Here in the present day things are, ironically, a little more jumbled, muddled. Cluttered, if you like. It feels instead like a reaction against the sheer quantity (and not quality) of things in life under capitalism: things to watch on streaming services, things to buy to wear, things to order on Uber Eats.

Perhaps it's easiest to describe minimalism as a way of thinking and seeing that can be applied to all facets of one's life, however you might see fit—whether you are an artist, activist, or simply getting by; despite the mess.
