If you can find and read this articleAesthetics : We have never been postmodern, Postmodernism without reservehttp://www.artpress.fr/Author : Mark Alizart - Keywords : aesthetic, modernity, modernism, postmodernism - Type : long article (monthly dossier) - Language : french/englishPublished in Juillet 2003 in issue no. 292There is a rumor going round that critical discourse on contemporary art has its hazy areas, with its commonplaces and shadows. In this issue's aesthetics section, art press tries to get rid of the uncertainty surrounding some founding terms of contemporary art language, i.e., "process," "postmodernism" and "the circulation of signs." How to conceptualize the operations of art and construct adequate critical tools? Mark Alizart, in charge of programming at the Pompidou Center's "Revues Parlées," observes the different variations in meaning attaching to the notions of "modernity," "modernism," "postmodernity" and "postmodernism."
