Generation proceeds from a simple question \u2013 how does belonging to a generation inform the generation of art? What are the art events that have influenced and informed art making and art writing within living memory. The issue explores the transaction that \u2018generation\u2019 implies \u2013 between the interests and preoccupations of one\u2019s own time and the aesthetic and cultural performances that emerge from it. The sense of belonging to a generation is stronger for some people than for others. It influences some more than others. One\u2019s sense of artistic generation may feel very different from that of one\u2019s peers. One may feel part of one\u2019s time, out of time, profoundly influenced by key events, or indifferent to them. Generation is a collaboration between Performance Research and Nomads, the Washington DC online organization that has shown and commissioned new media, produced the journal Massage and is now moving into curating sound.<\/p>\n
