Redazione Digicult
Artists, and above all the institutions of art, are faced with the questions as to the extent to which the concept "global" can and must be thought-and how this reflects back on its own methods of working. By means of artistic approaches and documentary materials, the exhibition "The Global Contemporary. Art Worlds After 1989" examines the way in which globalization, both with its pervasive mechanisms of the market and its utopias of networking and generosity, impacts upon the various spheres of artistic production and reception....

Parallel Worlds. The Mysterious Doron Golan
