Tate's fourth Triennial exhibition, curated by Nicolas Bourriaud who co-founded the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, opens at Tate Britain in February 2009. It explores a new concept, defined by him as 'the Altermodern'. The term describes art made in today's global context which is a reaction against standardisation and commercialism.
