“আভাঁগার্দ আজ সাধারণত বুদ্ধিজীবী, লেখক এবং শিল্পীদের গোষ্ঠীকে বোঝায়, যার মধ্যে ভাস্কর আর স্থপতিও রয়েছেন, যাঁরা বর্তমান সাংস্কৃতিক মূল্যবোধকে চ্যালেঞ্জ করে শৈল্পিক পদ্ধতির নবায়নের চিন্তাভাবনা করেন এবং পরীক্ষা করেন। আভাঁগার্দ কাজগুলো, বিশেষ করে যদি তারা সামাজিক সমস্যাগুলোকে সমাধান করতে চায়, প্রায়শই এমন সমাজ-কর্তাদের মুখোমুখি হয় যারা সমাধানগুলো আত্মীকরণ করতে বড়ো বেশি সময় নষ্ট করে । সমস্যা হলো যে গতকালের প্রতিষ্ঠানবিরোধিরা মূলধারায় পরিণত হয়, সরকারে যোগ দেয় বা ক্ষমতাবান মিডিয়ার মুখপত্র হয়ে ওঠে । ফলে আবার নতুন প্রজন্মের বিরোধিদের উদ্ভবের পরিবেশ তৈরি করে। প্রথম বিশ্বযুদ্ধের প্রতিক্রিয়ায় ডাডা আন্দোলন গড়ে ওঠে সেইসব শিল্পীদের নিয়ে, যাঁরা পুঁজিবাদী সমাজের যুক্তি, কারণ বা সৌন্দর্যের ধারণা মানতেন না, বরং তাঁদের কাজের মাধ্যমে প্রকাশ করতেন আপাত-অর্থহীন, উদ্ভট, অযৌক্তিক এবং বুর্জোয়া-বিরোধী প্রতিবাদী বক্তব্য ।”

“[...] a familiar art historical narrative [...] celebrates the triumph of the expressive individual over the collective, of innovation over tradition, and autonomy over interdependence. [...] In fact, a common trope within the modernist tradition of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries involved the attempt to reconstruct or recover the lost ideal of an art that is integrated with, rather than alienated from, the social. By and large, however, the dominant model of avant-garde art during the modern period assumes that shared or collective values and systems of meaning are necessarily repressive and incapable of generating new insight or grounding creative praxis.”
