New Museum's 1993 Trilogy on Globalization and Borders
In 1993, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York presented a three-part exhibition series exploring the concept of borders in the context of globalization. The series comprised 'In Transit' (curated by France Morin), 'Trade Routes' (curated by Laura Trippi), and 'Final Frontier' (curated by Alice Yang), running from January to November. The programming aimed to examine the profound social changes brought about by global exchange and to reconsider the museum's role when traditional cultural hierarchies are challenged. Art press published excerpts from a roundtable discussion involving the three curators and four assistant organizers of these exhibitions.
