Philippine Post Modern Art (1970 –
1980s)
The support of the Philippine Government
for the arts via the creation of the
Cultural Center of the Philippines
during 1969 gave a venue for all artists to
experiment and explore different art
medium tying closely to the Post Modern
Art Period of the West with Pop Art,
Installation Art, Performance Art,
dominating the scene. In contrast, social
realism became a heavy theme by most
Filipino Artist as a social commentary of
the problem brewing in the Philippine
political and social landscape.
Philippine Contemporary Art (1980s to
Present)
It was on the on-set of the sudden rise of
personal computers and new technology
created a new art medium for the arts and
human expression. But there were also
countless revivals of old styles being done.
This started a new direction for the arts
thus, setting the name momentarily, the
Philippine Contemporary Period.
Modern art is characterized by the artist's
intent to portray a subject as it exists in
the world, according to his or her unique
perspective and is typified by a rejection of
accepted or traditional styles and values.
Postmodern art is a body of art
movements that sought to contradict some
aspects of modernism or some aspects that
emerged or developed in its aftermath. In
general, movements such as intermedia,
installation art, conceptual art and
multimedia, particularly involving video are
described as postmodern.

dynamic combination of materials,
methods, concepts, and subjects that
challenges traditional boundaries and
defies easy definition.
• Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art is
distinguished by the very lack of a uniform
organizing principle, ideology, or ism.
" In a globally influenced, culturally
diverse, and technologically advancing
world, contemporary artists give voice to
the varied and changing cultural landscape
of identity, values, and beliefs.
• Contemporary audiences play an active
role in the process of constructing meaning
about works of art. Some artists often say
that the viewer contributes to or even
completes the artwork by contributing his
or her personal reflections, experiences
and opinions.
ALTERMODERNISM Altermodernism is an attempt at
contextualizing art made in today's global
context as a reaction against
standardization and commercialism.
• Artists are looking for a new modernity
that would be based on translation. Today,
the translation of cultural values of
cultural groups and the connection of
those values to the world network are very
essential. This “reloading process” of
modernism according to the twenty-first-
century issues could be called
https://www.metamute.org/editorial/article altermodernism, a movement connected to
s/altermodern-movement-or-marketing
the creolisation of cultures and the fight
for autonomy, but also the possibility of
producing singularities in a more and more
standardized world.
• Altermodern can essentially be read as
an artist working in a hypermodern world
or with “supermodern” ideas or themes.
