Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life

Product Information

Joshua has a style of writing that’s, how do I put it, inaccessible? While I understand his joy of writing, his choice of words can make it appear as though he’s being quite self-indulgent at the expense of the reader. In other words, reducing the amount of exposure to social media, dare I say the internet and technology, in general,to make room for more focus, better relationships, and less stress in our lives.

Sasaki tells the story of his transformation from a stressed-out, regular guy who hordes stuff,to a focused, grateful, and fulfilled regular guy who doesn’t.

Wagner, Katharina (27 January 2020). Simulacra and Nothingness in Bret Easton Ellis' "Less Than Zero". GRIN Verlag. ISBN 978-3-346-10821-0.I like books that try to preserve a sensibility, a moment in history, and Tanizaki definitely does here. He’s writing a little essay—in a kind of a casual newspaper column format—memorialising the world of traditional Japan in the moment that Tokyo is becoming super-modernised. There are trains running, skyscrapers going up, neon signs everywhere. Tanizaki is mourning what has been paved over, which is the old Japanese aesthetic of darkness, of softness, of appreciating the imperfect—rather than the cold, glossy surfaces of industrialized modernity that the West had brought to Japan at that moment. Donald Judd's work was showcased in 1964 at Green Gallery in Manhattan, as were Flavin's first fluorescent light works, while other leading Manhattan galleries like Leo Castelli Gallery and Pace Gallery also began to showcase artists focused on minimalist ideas. We live in an age of mass consumerism. The jobs we work endless hours at help us earn more so we can spend more. But there comes a time when we wonder what lies beyond this seemingly senseless cycle of earning and spending. a b Kahn, Brian (25 May 2018). "This Climate Visualization Belongs in a Damn Museum".

He walks you through the changes he made in his life with a few photographs to give you a visual idea. Nyman, Michael (11 October 1968). "Minimal Music". The Spectator. Vol.221, no.7320. pp.518–519 (519). Netflix sensation Marie Kondo offers her approach to changing your life through tidying up. This read explores the idea of what to keep or get rid of based on how you feel about it, not by what you "should" or "shouldn't" keep. For instance, she teaches you to only keep the items that spark joy in your life. If they can’t work to fix or change outside circumstances then they can certainly work on themselves.

Bertoni, Franco (2002). Minimalist Architecture, edited by Franco Cantini, translated from the Italian by Lucinda Byatt and from the Spanish by Paul Hammond. Basel, Boston, and Berlin: Birkhäuser. ISBN 3-7643-6642-7. Thanks. Let’s talk about Donald Judd’s Writings next. Judd himself said: “There isn’t any such thing as Minimalism.” And yet you have identified his 1963 show as ground zero for the modern art movement. So why should we think of Judd as being a Minimalist, to begin with?

Minimalism in visual art, sometimes called "minimal art", "literalist art" [5] and "ABC Art", [6] refers to a specific movement of artists that emerged in New York in the early 1960s in response to abstract expressionism. [7] Examples of artists working in painting that are associated with Minimalism include Nassos Daphnis, Frank Stella, Kenneth Noland, Al Held, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Ryman and others; those working in sculpture include Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, David Smith, Anthony Caro and more. Minimalism in painting can be characterized by the use of the hard edge, linear lines, simple forms, and an emphasis on two dimensions. [8] Minimalism in sculpture can be characterized by very simple geometric shapes often made of industrial materials like plastic, metal, aluminum, concrete, and fiberglass; [9] these materials are usually left raw or painted a solid colour.Another Japanese minimalist architect, Kazuyo Sejima, works on her own and in conjunction with Ryue Nishizawa, as SANAA, producing iconic Japanese Minimalist buildings. Credited with creating and influencing a particular genre of Japanese Minimalism, [40] Sejimas delicate, intelligent designs may use white color, thin construction sections and transparent elements to create the phenomenal building type often associated with minimalism. Works include New Museum (2010) New York City, Small House (2000) Tokyo, House surrounded By Plum Trees (2003) Tokyo.
