At the threshold of the 2nd millennium , art was entangled in a complex web of dynamic forces : virtual realities, globalization, media saturation, information highways, social isolation, digital representation. Art seemed “a series of perpetual differences” where artists were no longer shamans but transmitters of questions and recipients of answers, making contemporary art a tool of conviviality rather than a means of entertainment.The works presented here share a number of themes - visual recycling, spiritual education, informal motion, space for the self and space for the group, spiritual architecture and environmental chaos, the vanishing ego, dislocated presence, reality as record. Like Foucault Bonami illustrates the subtle otherness of creation, through collaborations with an international band of artists - and curators - to ask the same question as Foucault: What's going on just now? What's happening to us? This publication offers a selection of works by over 70 cutting-edge artists, combined with fascinating essays by thought-provoking writers.
