TAINTED TATE?

Posted by Isaac Royale at 11:47 PM

The Tate Britain's Triennial show is up right now and the theme/title of the show is "AlterModern", featuring a manifesto headed: "POSTMODERNISM IS DEAD".

How does this differ from postmodernism, especially anything queer, poco or otherwise vaguely pomo homo? Postmodernism is totally boring and we can talk about something new, but can the people that have ALREADY MOVED ON or at least better written your text continue writing in the space that you want to name without paying royalties? How does this wry harnessing of branding escape the pitfalls of the postmodernism you've built your argument against? Are you going to sell personalized t-shirts, or translate them into 5 languages?
