Memory of The Future?
The concept of the program composition of art videos curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne is considering the architectural installation at Torrance Art Museum as a modular system and his curatorial contribution as one module among the others forming in its totality on one hand a curatorial artwork (among other artworks in the framework of the global artwork, the installation on its totality is representing), communicating with the other static, interactive or moving installation components.
When the viewer/visitor is sensually experiencing the installation, particularly the moving images modules, the 100 minutes running program “Memory of the Future?” is confronting the visitor with the memory of Unknown, Unexpected, the yet to come – as long as he/she is staying sensually experiencing the installation.
“Memory OF THE Future” is referring beyond that primarily to the Uncertainty of the Future of Planet EARTH and its inhabitants – the “Climate Change” they are causing. How do artists deal with the aspect of taking responsibility for each other by taking responsibility for planet Earth saving its integrity for future generations?
