Self-declared art movement

|
The page is dedicated to art movements that have been declared by individual artists, but whose influence have not (yet) spread widely beyond the circle of their immediate collaborators. Whilst many artists may feel that they have something to contribute to the cultural landscape and an appreciation for social aesthetic trends, the act of naming an artistic approach does not in itself create a movement. To describe these movements as self-aggrandizing might be considered unkind. 'Premature' would be a more charitable label.
Superflat - late1990s-? - Suggested by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, and includes artist Yoshitomo Nara. Murakami forms a collaborative group called "KaikaiKiKi." External Link: Lecture by Takashi Murakami (http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/?lid=831)
Neen - begun May 2000 - Suggested by Greek artist Miltos Manetas who commissioned the name from a Branding company. The movement is oriented towards the landscape of the computer screen.
