Do you think the growing global interconnectedness is good or bad for the art world? Support your opinion by exploring how globalization manifests in an artwork from your text.
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary depending on answer selection. Consider global factors that have an impact on the art world and how these factors can have a positive or negative effect. For example, Yinka Shonibare's Cake Man questions the idea of authenticity, and if such a thing exists anymore. "Even things that were supposed to represent authentic Africa didn't turn out to fulfill the expectation of authenticity," says Shonibare. The textiles he used in Cake Man invite us to meditate on the complexity of globalization, which destabilizes simple ideas about cultural authenticity and national identity.
