If modernity warrants a return to the origin of art, then French curator and art critic Nicolas Bourriaud is right when he claims that this is the time to redefine the concept of -what is modern. Our century's modernity will be invented, precisely, in opposition to all radicalism, claims Bourriaud. So then, being radicant - from the Latin origin of - roots - means setting one's roots in motion, transplanting behaviors, and exchanging ideas rather than imposing them. Looking at the world through his globalized prism of art, Bourriaud sketches a world art criticism in which works are in constant dialog with the context from which they reproduced.
