A Future of Archive
For the 5th exhibition of Corridor鈥檚 year programme Teotwawki we focus on archiving. In recent years technology has radically altered how we perceive the reality and the archivization of it. What it means to differentiate between what is real or fiction or virtual, therefore the determination of what goes in an archive are crucial. These questions then become relevant to the artistic discourse in an era where major decision-makers in the world are rendering the reality blurrier rather than more clear. Works mix far future to ancient past while questioning how we forge our relationship to current states through media.
Visual artist Berkay Tuncay contributes to A Future of Archive with his work Untitled (Study for Kanye鈥檚 Tweets no.2), 2017. He researched the tweets of Kanye West that in particularly focused on the definition of art and being an artist. He then transformed and translated a total of 997 tweets into clay tablets written in Sumerian cuneiform language which then have been carved by hand. Each tablet takes its shape from a contemporary technological object.
Rustan S枚derling鈥檚 work Tannh盲user Gate (not really now not anymore), 2017. takes the viewer to a devastated FamilyMart in the aftermath of a fictitious catastrophe. In the video work you see a present haunted by the past, a sense of time as being somehow synchronous and indivisible, with past and future moving away from each other while still haunted by the threads which weave them together.
Helena Grande is contributing to A Future of Archive with a text on time, narrative and hauntology.
