The Radicant
Nicolas Bourriaud
If modernity warrants a return to the origin of art, then French curatorand art critic Nicolas Bourriaud is right when he claims that this is thetime to redefine the concept of -what is modern. Our century'smodernity will be invented, precisely, in opposition to all radicalism,claims Bourriaud. So then, being radicant - from the Latin origin of - roots - means setting one's roots in motion, transplanting behaviors,and exchanging ideas rather than imposing them. Looking at the worldthrough his globalized prism of art, Bourriaud sketches a world artcriticism in which works are in constant dialog with the context fromwhich they reproduced.
