Post Personalism Manifesto
Post Personalism explores the possibility of art being made that is not merely personally referential. According to Post Personalism, we live in a personal era of human history, which embodies all of Modernism and celebrates freedom of personal expression. Post Personalism acknowledges personal expression too, but primarily explores the universal oneness that transcends the mere personal. Post Personalism develops intelligent and forward thinking concepts that emerge out of that inquiry.
Post Personalism presents a new and original interpretation of oneness. We believe that oneness is now an imperative. Today, anything other than oneness is part of the old reality, the old consciousness. Post Personalism creates art forms that address this theme directly.
The word "personality" comes from the word "persona", which comes from the greek meaning for mask, or our outer appearance. Post Personalism looks behind the mask and brings attention to the authentic being that is our true identity.
Post Personalism communicates artistic themes relating to the evolution of human consciousness. It postulates that humanity has the potential to move beyond the egocentric stage and into a non-egoic stage. The non-egoic stage is the emerging new consciousness of oneness.
Post Personalism is an artistic platform that enables an exploration of the evolution of human consciousness through art.
‘Post personal’ does not mean a disregard of the personal self, it means coming after, or going beyond, or going deeper than the personal self. It is not impersonal because it is compassionate. It is the next step. Post personalism is about the here and now, it is pro presence.
Post Personalism views the entire era of modern art (1860-present) as the “Personal Era”. The Personal Era in human history celebrates the liberation of the individual from classical restrictions. The word "Modernism" is analogous to "The Personal Era". It has been an extraordinary, and liberating creative era in human history.
However, Post Personalism goes beyond that and explores the new era that is emerging now. We recognize that we are not only liberated as individuals but we are also integral to the expression of the whole of life. We make art that explores this new paradigm.
Post Personalism does not promote any doctrine or belief system. Instead, it is based on an open and flexible framework of oneness and seeks to go deeper than the status-quo state of human consciousness today.
Post Personalism was founded by artists Patrick Howe and Christopher Gasper, in Seattle, Washington, in 2014.
