Lorna Collins and John R Lovett present Why do we need Modernism now?
broadcast today, Weds 7th Feb on the Clear Spot, Resonance 104.4fm,
London, 7-8pm GMT
We respond to the recent surge of interest in Modernism as a crucial but as
yet indefinable, implacable style or epoch in relation to our contemporary
culture and society. From the shock of a painter, Tomma Abts, winning the
Turner Prize, to continued uproar about Modernist exhibitions in the press
debating its controversial legacy, implications and meaning, there is
clearly a need to revisit Modernism and understand what drove it. Our
programme explores and questions this, asking why Modernism prompted such a
strong response and why particularly now, in our own post-ism-ic,
disorientated time?
Turning to curators, artists, philosophers and the public; concerning
design, painting and music from Schoenberg, Ives, Visage and Einstüzende
Naubauten, alongside the styles relation with war we initiate and follow
the Modernist dispute with the aim of placing and questioning it, asking
where we are now and what will this lead on to?
