If these are the most talented up and coming artists in Europe then I despair! Don't get me wrong, there was a very small handful of the exhibitions which were thought provoking. However many were just so shallow and arrogant I felt like an absolute mug! Please please do not let this become a respected genre, this an absolute farce in my opinion!

Just have a look at my essay on post-literature published by TRANS magazine in Wien, in February 2003, and you'll find almost the same ideas of Nicolas Bourriaud, http://www.inst.at/trans/14Nr/severin14.htm My essay was also published on the site of Saatchi Gallery five years ago, so Tate discovered America...

In other words, less dialectical, less antagonistic, less critical to a certain extent... hopefully more aware though?

More precisely, what do they mean to say that POMO is, and now what 'Altermodernism' is ? The point is that the question reifies the process of making art (and everything else). But POMO is not a thing, nor could AMO be a thing. But of course, this is the POMO answer—that 'things' are always already emergent processes, and that our language for talking about them has this reifying effect that misleads us into talking about them as things, and so that we have to do verbal gymnastics in order to escape the degrading effects of this existential situation we find ourselves in. There will always be those who deem to profit by offering a way out of this dilemma, they will offer gains in the efficiency of thought by eliding difficult questions that the POMO critique of knowledge has put forward. But with that said—all of the same old questions are still active and still rewarding to ponder and the guys involved in this debate are smart and interesting and I'd love to end up at dinner after a tour of the Tokyo Palace (whatever that is) for a lively drunken debate about it.
