In the No Longer Not Yet
"In the No Longer Not Yet "operates on the premise that the apocalypse is not to come but ongoing. Shifting focus away from the familiar scenarios of planetary extinction, the artists in the exhibition point to reconfigurations of our apocalyptic narratives, insisting that the end is plural, both occurring and having already occurred, and uneven in its distribution across time and place.
According to a biblical model, the apocalypse hinges on revelation, on visions of end times leading to an unveiling. Of interest in the exhibition are the different manifestations that revelation takes in the face of catastrophe, and how each produces a lens opening on ever-present yet unseen struggles, social dynamics, and histories. If secular cries of apocalypse are based on an end-of-world narrative, here the grouped artworks gesture to the task of bringing totalizing structures, bent on extraction, oppression, and dispossession, to their logical conclusion. They propose endings that might lead to a reshaping of our sense of social cohesion and political agency.
