avant-garde is a european word.
french.
tonight, i noticed that avant-garde is everywhere because, nothing is demanded by a clerical order in public so any public expression is avant-garde. my reasoning for this is based on the observation that ancient chinese metal vessels are avant-garde. obviously, not all of them. but when they feature aesthetic decoration? avant garde!
so, you see, in a police state (eg. russia, usa) public expression is for better or for worse avant garde.
my mind is of the aesthetic cast, as opposed to the spiritual.
