New Museum's latest more international triennial The Ungovernables. Reminds me a bit of my
Fresh Trouble show in 2005 (probably the stick by which Portland measures group shows) but with an update from the Arab Spring, etc. Fact is the world has seemed much more restless since the WTO demonstrations in 1999 where new electronic media allowed faster and more global disseminations of information and dissent.

a new Director but has some of the same old problems.
I'm sorry, but are you serious? The "WTC demonstrations in 1999?" I think you mean the WTO demonstrations.
