And yet most people will agree that far from producing only ephemeral and tangential creations, there are artists who succeed in integrating the onslaught of influences from everywhere and create works, which epitomise the spirit of the age. Among the encounters of art I had last summer there were four that stood out for me as attempts to bringing together established notions of art with new and unusual elements. Each work or artist took a different route in mediating between cultures, genres, generations and styles. F...
