Notes

1See http://89plus.com/about/. From 2013 to the present, 89plus is “a long-term, international, multi-platform research project co-founded by Simon Castets and Hans Ulrich Obrist, investigating the generation of innovators born in or after 1989.”

2If some agency has left the critic, it certainly finds itself in the curator. Like critics, curators are purposefully and sometimes awkwardly dispersing their power—like documenta 13 curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev’s massive artist-led curatorial team.

3While this essay focuses specifically on North American examples, there has been a strong current of anti-globalist activities on this topic, largely reacting against massive biennials and triennials that have no relationship to place. See The Ghetto Biennale and the general negative reception of documenta 11.

4This is not to suggest that this kind of “collective subjectivization” cannot happen outside of those with a shared location—say, within intimate communities on the Web—but face-to-face interaction is a yet-to-be-explored x-factor.

5See http://mdwfair.org. Compare this to the mission of Art Basel, on their website: “showing work of the highest merit, and attracting the world’s leading gallerists and collectors, [making] Art Basel the place where the art world meets.”
