John Barth's brief description of Donald Barthelme's so-called postmodernist dinners

Photograph from “The Postmodernists Dinner,” 1983 by Jill Krementz (b. 1940) In John Barth’s 1989 New York Times eulogy for Donald Barthelme, Barth gives a brief description of two so-called postmodernist dinners, both of which I’ve written on this blog before. …though [Barthelme] tsked at the critical tendency to group certain writers against certain others ”as if we were football teams” –…

MY FLAT COUNTRY

my flat country

scrub divided by highway

stretching

further

Oh, the luxury

of a small town

with a library

chance

to drink coffee

be

philosophical

mediocrity

entropy

won't say

they're married

but rented a room

by the hour

for much

of the night

and when it comes, when

all stalls

at risk of repeating myself

Oh, what a night

incomparable night

“In sum, do not insult me with the beheadings, finger-choppings or the lung-deflations you plan for my works. I need my head to shake or nod, my hand to wave or make into a fist, my lungs to shout or whisper with. I will not go gently onto a shelf, degutted, to become a non-book.”

— Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

MILLONARIOS⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ vosotros⠀⠀ sin caras⠀⠀ sin caras⠀⠀ en absoluto⠀⠀ riéndoos de nada;⠀⠀ dejadme que os diga:⠀⠀ he bebido en pensiones de mala muerte con⠀⠀ borrachos imbéciles⠀⠀ cuya causa era mejor⠀⠀ cuyos ojos aún albergaban cierta luz⠀⠀ cuyas voces conservaban cierta sensibilidad,⠀⠀ y cuando amanecía⠀⠀ vomitábamos pero no estábamos mal,⠀⠀ éramos pobres pero no ilusos,⠀⠀ y nos desperezábamos en las camas y nos levantábamos⠀⠀ a media tarde⠀⠀ igual que millonarios.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Charles Bukowski⠀ & Ege Islekel (artist)⠀

Postmodern Architecture - James Stirling

James Stirling was a british architect whose career rised as the postmodern movement, rebelling against modernism, "less is a bore" was Venturi's in an early manifesto for this movement, inviting architects to "consider black, white and sometimes gray", calling for more richness and ambiguity.

Later, the The New York Five (Graves, Eisenman, Meier, Gwathmey and Hejduk) participated in a conference at the Moma for the study of the environment where they presented their "black and white" worldview which was rejected by the Grays as the postmodernists called themselves. Though ideas weren't completely polar, this became a battle which attracted a lot of attention from the media. This can be exemplified in From Bauhaus to Our House, book written by Tom Wolfe.

As this battle kept on going, architects started changing sides, Michael Graves with Portland Building is one example. Phillip Johnson also joined the movement his South LaSalle or AT&T buildings are both evidence, and again quoting Johnson "There are many — and contradictory — trends in our quick-change generation. In architecture, strict-classicism, strict-modernism and all sorts of shades in between, are equally valid"

For more detalied information: Postmodernism Timeline

Getting back to James Stirling, he was crucial part of this movement, participating with his unorthodox design and getting several awards including the Pritzker Price.

Observing postmodernism through his work is pretty easy taking as an example the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany, which combines classical architecture elements with modern industrial materials. He also incorporates travertine and sandstone with industrial steel, in short it's a combination of historical elements with modern ones.

As I read while investigating, its considered a juxtaposition of modern elements to classical materials, which sounds pretty logic.

At the atrium of the museum, there are columns, gables and architraves which makes reference to the 19th Century museums but highly contrasts with the interior of the museum.

In short, I like postmodernism, although I think that things at that point got a little mixed up and I'd rather go for one style or another...
