Art In The Age Of ...

Description

Tent. Rotterdam, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, 23-01-2015, 03-01-2016. - Catalogus bij de drie tentoonstellingen van het gelijknamige centrum met een overzicht van de projecten en deelnemers. - Art In The Age Of is published on the occasion of the eponymous yearlong cycle. This series articulated itself through three exhibitions; Art In The Age Of Energy And Raw Material, Art In The Age Of Planetary Computation, and Art In The Age Of Asymmetrical Warfare, alongside a related discursive program and film screenings. Art In The Age Of was staged to investigate future vectors of art production in the 21st century, highlighting the circulation of art and its underlying economies rather than its territorial location, its spread and infectious expanse rather than its arrest within narrowly defined genealogies and media. With a focus on topical areas of urgency within art's creation and its dispersal, spanning energy and raw materials, planetary computation, and asymmetric warfare, the Art In The Age Of publication both records and expands research feeding this year-long program through interviews and essays by key contributors, alongside specially commissioned artist interventions.
