Before into Mea-Art ,
Modernism or Postmodernism
here a little explanation of both art .(source)

Modernist Concept

2. Artwork that uses various mediums, paintings, linocuts, prints, etching , photographs
3. Artwork created reflects an era of experimentation, innovation, invention and increasing social and technological change.

3. Cultural critiques
4.Environmentaism
5. Electicism(selecting or composed of elements drawn from various sources, methods/ style)

Richard Hamilton (1922- )
‘Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?’ 
(collage, 1956) Kunsthalle Tübingen
"Pop Art became their mode of expression in this search for change and its language was adapted from Dada collages and assemblages. The Dadaists had created irrational combinations of random images to provoke a reaction from the establishment of their day."

From Angela's blog mentioned that" Pop art breaks down what Andreas Huyssen calls the 
"Great Divide" between high art and popular culture.
Postmodernism emerges out of a "generational refusal of 
the categorical certainties of high modernism."

Instead of analyzing the exist art like pop-art, and Mea-Art pops in my mind :D 
"Mea-art" is a new art movement that created by my partner, Nick and me for History of Modern Art during the semester 3 in Foundation. 
Questioning myself , what Mea-Art ? is modernism or postmodern? 
Little description of Mea-Art : 
Our ideology is referring back who we are and what we facing in The One Academy as a student.
We realize that studying in college and especially in this art industry is much more tough than other course. It is not like pass an exam mean you are succeed to be a great designer but also our own creativity.Besides, my ex-lecturer always mentioned 'this is not wonderland". it is not easy to gain something without paying effort. And technology nowadays that so convenient for everyone to do research and that is how people is doing plagiarism as a shortcut way.That is how we form our new movement that every effort we pay, is our point to a succeed way. Path that we choose is a creation of our future.

Mea-Art that based on our ideology is reinvented from the combination of  2 art movement Constructivism and Graphic Art.
 We got the inspiration name from Pop-Art."Mea'' is actually from the word measurement.
Mea-art is not about how people build their own thing with their knowledge only but also to measure how far they can go without limitation with their own life experience in art itself.
In Mea-Art, we enchant constructivism perception what will lead to logical ideas because you changed your mind set will also affect the reality. The objective of it is to change the mindset of people toward appreciating times, chance and must be clear at what i your action.

The Characteristic of Mea- Art is using materials that representative certain meaning. Firstly, the Mea-Art is form in a complicated structure because it is related with our concept of the life in The One Academy, it is not easy to get in if you do not pay efforts.

Instead of just a artwork, we make it into a board game to play along the lifestyle in The One Academy. The dice represent the measurement tool.
We want the player to experience through this game by a certain stops in the board. Start from GO(induction day) to lifestyle in TOA like meet new friends, where to eat and to climax point when receive tons of assignments. At here player will need to choose either go long way like work for 24hours without sleep to Final or choose a high risk path , the shortcut way(copy/plagiarize) to Final.
After final, then sembreak and back to next semester :D Is not about the fastest reach end point win the game but is about the experiences and knowledge that you gain during the period.There are certain stops/events in the game that help player gain points. There are more info about this game ..... but the main now is defining this art whether is Modernism or Postmodern .

The materials that we used to create this board game are with different media like random graphics that cut out from magazines. (Collage) The placement of the graphics can say is in order and also can say is in a mess but the rubber band as the road will shows the way.  It is because when a rubber band is stretch too hard, it will break. This actually represent the students when having so much stress and pressure, it will break like a rubber band.We use hook as the player.

Sorry for the low quality img . Every visual and typography in the board got it representative and meaning.  



So , after all .... is this can known as a Postmodern artwork by looking at some same concept with Postmodern like using collage style and using Visual/ textual interpretation to attached meaning and using the chosen material as issues of representation.
And also Environmentaism and the Collage work.


ps : Just to share our artwork to the world :D hahaha
