POSTMODERNISM POST-MORTEM

摘要

So it's over. Officially. With a big show at the V&A to bury it. Postmodernism has passed into history - of a kind. After Po-Mo, quipped a New York wit, comes Po-Po-Mo. And after Po-Po-Mo - comes No-Mo! So that's where we now are. From that No-Mo vantage point, we can take stock of what the label suggests in a large and splendidly modern exhibition which will go on until 15 January, and which is accompanied by a lavish, many-essayed catalogue, as well as a limited edition vinyl disc of Postmodern tunes and CDs of the same. You even have a choice of Postmodern patterned ties.
