"O pós-modernismo morreu, viva a altermodernidade
Na trienal da Tate, em Londres, um francês abriu nova etapa na discussão sobre a identidade da cultura e dos artistas de hoje. Modernos ou pós-modernos, quem somos? Nem uns nem outros, antes seres de uma nova era em que se age e cria a partir de uma visão positiva de caos e complexidade. A altermodernidade, segundo Nicolas Bourriaud" in Ípsilon

POSTMODERNISM IS DEAD
A new modernity is emerging, reconfigured to an age of globalisation – understood in its economic, political and cultural aspects: an altermodern culture
Increased communication, travel and migration are affecting the way we live
Our daily lives consist of journeys in a chaotic and teeming universeMulticulturalism and identity is being overtaken by creolisation: Artists are now starting from a globalised state of cultureThis new universalism is based on translations, subtitling and generalised dubbingToday’s art explores the bonds that text and image, time and space, weave between themselvesArtists are responding to a new globalised perception. They traverse a cultural landscape saturated with signs and create new pathways between multiple formats of expression and communication.The Tate Triennial 2009 at Tate Britain presents a collective discussion around this premise that postmodernism is coming to an end, and we are experiencing the emergence of a global altermodernity.Nicolas BourriaudAltermodern – Tate Triennial 2009at Tate Britain 4 February – 26 April 2009
