Relics is a group exhibition that explores the
consequences of today’s accelerated embrace of new technology as well as
the political, social and environmental consequences of technical and
functional obsolescence.
Curated by ICA Executive Director
Cathy Kimball, the exhibition will include work by a wide range of
artists from the Bay Area and beyond, including Jim Campbell, Ching
Ching Cheng, Max de Esteban, Katheryn Dunlevie, Genevieve Hastings,
Victoria Mara Heilweil, Ferit Kuyas, Shona Macdonald, MANUAL (Hill
& Bloom), David Pace, Ulrike Palmbach, Francesca Pastine, Lucy
Puls, Nicola Vruwink and Stephen Wirtz. Running through January 24, Relics is comprised of photographs, sculptures, works on paper and video that serve as forensic testimonies of dead technologies. From
GPS navigation systems to the abundance of social media sites,
advancements in technology over the past decade have dramatically
changed the world. They affect how we live, how we do business, how we
acquire information and how we communicate. Dozens of devices and
formats that were once considered cutting-edge technology are now
regarded as obsolete. Many common items that were once ubiquitous have
vanished from our lives. Typewriters, pagers, 8-track tapes, walkmans,
answering machines, slides and slide projectors are true relics of the
past. How does our society dispose of these antiquated objects of recent
history? What is the effect of society’s desire to “upgrade” at every
time a new technological advancement is announced? | |
