Globalism à la Française: A Conversation on Okwui Enwezor’s “Intense Proximity” Triennale
Émilie Renard, Claire Staebler, and Mathilde Walker-Billaud
Okwui Enwezor’s Triennale articulated the challenges that globalization—and the movements of denationalization, decentralization, and de-hierarchization that arose from it—posed to the writing of modern and contemporary art history. Paris and its “excess of cultural capital” constituted, in Enwezor’s eyes, a fertile ground for revisiting the ethnographic model of otherness and reviving certain lessons from cosmopolitanism in the context of a tense cultural landscape.
