post-minimalism
Beyond bare essentials
Post-minimalism is an art movement emerging in the late 1960s that retained minimalism's simplicity and industrial materials while reintroducing human presence, process, and emotional content.
Where minimalism sought pure geometric form, post-minimalism embraced irregularity, soft materials, and visible evidence of making: Her post-minimalist sculptures use felt and latex rather than steel.
The term applies across visual art, music, and dance.
