"Globalism is another new normal with ambiguous implications, and this primer, edited by Hans Belting, A ndrea Buddensieg and Peter Weibel, charts at least one aspect of its development. The book originated as an exhibition catalog in Germany and was conceived largely from a European perspective, which should prove refreshing for readers who chafe at the exceptionalist attitude of the American art mainstream. More important, the book covers a lot of historical ground, taking that tectonic year 1989 as its starting point and using the explosion of international biennials and triennials for an art-world map utterly different from the one that existed a generation or two ago."
