Future Proof: Group show that examines intergenerational and career-long dedication to abstract art
Future Proof is a group show curated by Jared Linge for American Abstract Artists, featuring 17 of the group鈥檚 members.
This exhibition examines the way that longevity in art can meaningfully shape communities and cultural landscapes over time. Here, 鈥渓ongevity鈥� refers to the ability of art to endure, develop, and proliferate on its own terms, regardless of trends and circumstances. In an industry where social media and the art market reduce discourse to an endless succession of changing fashions, Future Proof positions communities of career-long practices as an alternative model. In this context, longevity is achieved both in open systems of making, and an intergenerational collaborative spirit.
These seventeen artists define abstraction in our present day by exploring a range of material, formal, and methodological approaches. Works have been selected with an eye towards range and contrast: from more coolly conceived formal viewpoints to the immediacy of space and raw materials. With a knowledge of abstraction鈥檚 history and the potential reinterpretation of its variables, these artists collectively champion the legacy of non-objective art as a vehicle for embodying critical thought.
