Tate Triennial 2009 Prologue 1: Okwui Enwezor: Specious Modernity: Speculations on the end of Postcolonial Utopia

In a lecture launching the Tate Triennial Prologues and opening up debate around the themes of the exhibition, Okwui Enwezor will make his response to exhibition curator Nicolas Bourriaud’s definition of the new 'modern' : ‘altermodern’. Nigerian-born Enwezor is a curator, critic and poet. He is currently Senior Vice President and Dean of Cademic Affairs at the San Francisco Art Institute and was Artistic Director of Documenta 11 in Kassel, Germany, in 2002. The session will be chaired by London-based writer, curator and artist JJ Charlesworth.
