Jonathan Jones has written an interesting piece about Altermodern (defined as post-post-modernism) at Tate Britain, a triennial of British art curated by Bourriaud. It will be interesting to see how far the exhibition is able to avoid the illustration of theory, as many of the selected artists cite Relational Aesthetics as a fundamental influence upon the nature of their practice. The concept of heterogeneity might dominate both theory and practice (if they are to be considered separate) to such an extent that it appears homogeneous. There is also the idea of the star guest curator, which is also discussed in this month's Museums Journal.
Here's the link for the article:
