Assigning Movements

This exercise reminds me a little bit of trying in vain to chose a political party. None exactly fit what I believe in, yet I'm too stubborn to compromise on anything, so I've remained an independent, whatever that means. The same problem arises when I try to explain my work to someone who has never seen it and does not have a background in art. I resort to a strange string of hyphenated words, like fiber artist/cardboard-sculptor-inventor-of-impossible-objects...

Of course it's nearly impossible to accurately do the same for another artist, but I'll attempt it.

Ann Hamilton: (a fiber artist/sculptor/installation artist/performance artists/unconventional photographer) MODERN. (incidentally, the Walt Whitman poems she used were "Song of Myself" and "I Sing the Body Electric") 
McGee: (a graffiti/street artist)POSTMODERN.  He recontextualizes graffiti by placing it in a gallery and making it a desirable commodity instead of vandalism.

Kara Walker: (installation artist)POSTMODERN.  She references the silhouette portraits, but depicts caricatures of slaves and slave masters.
Shahzia Sikander: (painter/installation artist) A marriage between traditional eastern practice, which prizes conformity to a formula, and western art practice, which prizes individuality)  POSTMODERN
