For over a century, the politics of “populism” has been used to rail against big business and bad government—and to kindle a rise in nationalism and xenophobia. In four separate venues this summer, a forum of forty-two international artists (including Bernadette Corporation, Wang Du, Per Kirkeby, Erik van Lieshout, Cildo Meireles, and Sarah Morris) will address this political hot potato through such subthemes as mass media, globalization, surveillance, market industries, and religion. Two publications and a host of lectures and panel discussions around Europe help bring this show to the people.

Also on view at the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Apr. 8–June 5; National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design, Oslo, Apr. 15–Sept. 4; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Apr. 29–Aug. 28.
