all relations that permit dialogue are automatically assumed to be democratic and therefore good. But what does democracy really mean in this context? If relational art produces human relations, then the next logical question to ask is what types of relations are being produced, for whom, and why?

...a fully functioning democratic society is not one in which all antagonisms have disappeared, but one in which new political frontiers are constantly being drawn and brought into debatein other words, a democratic society is one in which relations of conict are sustained, not erased. Without antagonism there is only the imposed consensus of authoritarian order a total suppression of debate and discussion, which is inimical to democracy.

Marc Quinn Alison Lapper Pregnant (2005)

It turns out that the oldest meaning of the English and German word for thing concerns an assembly brought together to discuss disputed matters of concern. Hence the focus on the slogan FROM REALPOLITIK TO DINGPOLITIK, a neologism invented for the show. This major shift is reected in the aesthetic of the show, in the ways in which the over one hundred installations and works of art are presented, and in the general physical and virtual architecture. What we are trying to do is compare modernist with non-modern attitudes to objects. In effect we are moving FROM OBJECTS TO THINGS.

Altermodernism can be dened as that moment when it became possible for us to produce something that made sense starting from an assumed heterochrony, that is, from a vision of human history as constituted of multiple temporalities, disdaining the nostalgia for any era a positive vision of chaos and complexity.
