Movements in Art

I am taking nominations for movements in Art. Have all the good movements been taken? I will pursue no movement until its time? How do you recognize a movement when you see one? I have read so much about movements, I sure wish I could be in a movement. The only movements we have today are political - change and tea-party movements. My opinion is that they suck. I want to live a movement like the impressionists. Am I living in a dream world?

I would like to see a movement away from buying paintings based on a color that matches the drapes. Would that be a movement? Even if that weren't a movement, I would really like to see that. It seems as if nobody has feelings, or rather that they would really rather just be entertained so to avoid feelings.

How about a movement where art is more collaborative, rather than a single artist?
Is that a good movement? Wouldn't emotion intensify if more than one person is involved? I believe we have seen this in the past with artists and their mistresses. However, what if art was truly collaborative? Golf does this with a "scramble" format. What if art had a scramble? People with different handicaps approach the bare canvas.
