This is the problem I have when I talk to art students. They literally cannot wrap their heads around the fact that what is avant-garde in 1920 might not be avant-garde now. They have this idea that the conventional and the avant-garde are two unchanging categories, and that their work is somehow groundbreaking for repeating the same tired experiments as other avant-gardists.

There's also the problem (and this is a problem I think across all artistic fields) that art (at least in the last 200 years) has progressed by assimilating the avant-garde into the conventional. The experience of being shocked and challenged by a work of art is key to this process. I'm talking about the "jolt" that's been talked about previously by a tonne of thinkers. The problem now is that this "jolt" is basically impossible to produce in an audience, because nothing is formally shocking anymore.

We have to go back, and re-sensitize ourselves to less experimental art. At least that's the way I see it.
