What is 4D art?

“This new ideology has elicited a veritable earthquake, a landslide, in the old artistic system. We designate the totality of relevant artistic phenomena by the term “Dimensionism.” (The formula “N + 1″ expresses the Dimensionist development of the arts…”
- From the Dimensionist Manifesto, Charles Sirato, Paris, 1936

4D Art is the system, proven and proof method, and phenomenology through which art - painting and sculpture - is situated in the contextual rhizome (political, commercial and social topology) in which it actually exists anyway, now. Art so situated is therefore presented in itself, for itself, for us, exactly as it is, which helps us perceive our circumstances for what they are. What we do with that data, is up to each of us and all of us, measurably, if not predictably.
- Paul McLean, Bushwick, 2011
