Fred Wilson in Harlem
Postmodern Art : Making the There, here. And decentralising the centralised.
My question for postmodernity is as always:
Does postmodernity aim to make the periphery central or is it just an excuse for the central not to acknowledge the periphery more by making it common?
Everything is a two-edged sword.

postmodernism is always a good excuse people use when they cannot expain themselves

Or it could also be a victim of people who cannot explain postmodernism.

Frederic Jameson will tell you, postmo is a function of capitalism: creating a discourse of difference and periphery, it paralyzes social revolution. i am wowed.
