modernism[s]: Modernism often refers to a political, cultural and artistic movement rooted in the changes in Western society at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century which embraced change and the present, and thought the 'traditional' forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated. This movement directly confronted new economic, social and political aspects of an emerging fully industrialized situation. More recently, reappraisals of this history challenge the singular and exclusive nature of this term, suggesting there were many modernisms beyond what became the Modernist canon. The art museum is often positioned within this Western Modernist tradition but we want to think rather in terms of modernisms which are culturally diverse and multiple.
