Nicolas Bourriaud



After listening to Bourriaud's interview on "altermodern" there was a few key points I took away from it. First to explain what "atlermodern" is, Bourriaud says, "atler is multiplicity and otherness". He goes on to say that he believes postmodernism is over and the new altermodern is the new movement emerging.

He is trying to explain that it is difficult to decipher what exactly modernism is. He of course explains postmodernism is after modernism but altermodernism is what would, more or less, be the one having to become out on top.

The basis of this interview was he is about to unveil an exhibit at the Tate art show and he has three other unvelings to show to compliment altermodernism. One for traveling, one of exile and the last based in dimensional borders. He goes on to say that he believes that the new modernism needs to be global from scratch.

Down to the last minute or so he says, "The last continent artists need to explore is time." I am not exactly sure what he means by this. But then again I am not sure what he means about a few other things. However I believe he has good points and he really believes that this is the new modernism for art.
