One of the most popular projects of the documenta 11 exhibition . . . 
. . was that of the Swiss artist Hirschhorn in the Northern part of the city, that is traditionally a social focus with a high rate of unemployment. Hirschhorn used second hand products, old wood and a lot of parcels tape for the . . . 
. . . the installation of a temporary café, library, television studio and the monument in the centre of the old working class estate. A lot of unemployed youngsters, many of them with Turkish roots, found a job there during the time of the exhibition.What is the difference between globalism and globalization?
Globalism is the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations.[1] Political scientist Joseph Nye, co-founder of the international relations theory of neoliberalism, argues that globalism refers to any description and explanation of a world which is characterized by networks of connections that span multi-continental distances; while globalization refers to the increase or decline in the degree of globalism.[2] Globalism may be contrasted with individualism, localism, nationalism, regionalism or internationalism.
Globalization (or globalisation) describes a process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a globe-spanning network of communication and trade. The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology.[1] However, globalization is usually recognized as being driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors.[2] The term can also refer to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through acculturation.
In Art and Today Pg 292, heartney talks about globalism, saying one facet is the proliferation of the International Biennials and art shows after the cold wars end, and also technology leveling the playing field with easier and instant communication globally.
Globalisms proponents see it as:
PROS- a counterbalance to nationalism
-opens new movements
-starting unprecidented economic opportunities
-reveals diversity of cultural expression
-as Thomas Freidman puts it in his book, The World is Flat, the convergience of technology and -geopolitical developments has broken down barriers to international compotitions that once -favored the U. S. and Europe over India and China.
CONS -increased disparity between rich and poor nations
-favor cultural synthesis
-pg 292, Noam Chomsky says that institutions such as International Monetary Fund and World Bank are "ploys to cement the privileges of the dominant corporate elite.
-pg 292, Centralized $ and power is undemocratic, shifting resources, jobs away from the needs of theindividual, to serve interests of multinational corp., generating intense poverty among globalisms losers
How does globalism shape the identity of the western art world?
It levels the playing field. Our identity becomes more homoginized by the influx of art and artist from all over the globe
How does globalism affect the inclusion of women artists?
It allows for more women to be included, especially from countries that are not as rich as ours
Is globalism a freeing up of art venues or an invitation to more competition between the established art institutions? More competition and a freeing up of other art venues both. With the whole world as a format for showing and celebration of works by myriads of artists, both are happening.
How does glabalism effect your point of entry into the art world? It should make it more competition for me but I don't think it will effect me until I already have entered the art world
