80 Washington Square East
Now Through July 12th
"Modernity 3.0 intends
to respond to the current crisis of Western modernity as part of a
cosmopolitan course involving a worldwide transition of views. In this
ongoing transition, a modernity referred to as Modernity 1.0 -
characterized by traditional nation states - was transplanted by
Modernity 2.0 - an ultimate form of globalization, where a compressed
world without any boundary arose. However, such a compressed, globalized
world producing the core notion of proximity, i.e. a world without any
layer or distance, seems to no longer match today’s cultural and
economic developments. We seem to have achieved a state of Modernity
connoting a world where multidimensionality and the novel notion of
rooted cosmopolitanism has erased a totalitarian form of globalized
proximity."
