1. Does the 'art world' really exist? If it is just shorthand fo the experience of going to openings and selling art and knowing certain people etc., then who is 'stricken by geopolitical anxiety'?

2. Is the art world just a business world? Or a private club? Is it really about art at all?

2. Does this mean Globalism just doesn't suit the people who already have money and power?

3.Which comes first the chicken or the egg? Is the art world following globalism, or is globalism making us more aware of more of the globe, and the artists and people therein?

4. Why doesn't music need a music world to exist? Or poetry need a poetry world?

5. A culture is said to need a mythology that can accommodate the changes the people are undergoing. What is arts role in relation to this need?
