"Smith, who sees linearity as an 'old-fashioned' way of thinking about time, kicks up the silt of art history to present us with a historiography of contemporaneity. . . . To that end, he takes us through 'contemporary' buzzwords and ways of thinking about issues like globalisation, the Anthropocene, decolonisation, indigenisation, revived fundamentalisms and ecoactivism, to ask how we might harmonise our differences in a way that 'ensures our mutual survival' on this planet."–Fi Churchman "Art Review" (1/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)
