Serpentine Gallery 89plus Marathon

Serpentine Gallery, London

Taking place in London during Frieze Art Fair and inspired by the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery's multidisciplinary programme, the 89plus Marathon will bring emerging practitioners, born in or after 1989, together with influential thinkers of all generations.

At this turning-point in history, urgent questions present themselves when considering the artistic, social and political options available today. New languages, models and forms need to be conceived to address the impact networked society and an evolving global economy have had on today's young generations. Seeking to explore these possibilities in an optimistic and generative tone, the 89plus Marathon brings together participations from the fields of art, architecture, music, activism, science, technology, literature and theory to find out how to ask - and how to begin to answer - the following questions:

- Can the potential of emerging technologies lead to a truly global dialogue that is not homogeneous but acknowledges and fosters difference?

- What options are available to the generations born after the Cold War, growing up through the crisis of financial capitalism?

- How can we understand new and networked forms of collectivity as examples of new social, economic, political and aesthetic forms?

- What are the new forms of activism and protest? Has access to the internet changed political action?

- What is the relationship between individual leadership and the group in the age of non-hierarchical, 'horizontal' practice?

- Who is responsible for the future?

The 89plus Marathon is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Simon Castets, Ben Vickers and Jochen Volz. The Serpentine Gallery Marathon series was conceived by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, in 2006 and is deeply intertwined with the annual Serpentine Gallery Pavilion Commission, launched by Julia Peyton-Jones, Director, in 2000.

The 89plus Marathon will be the eighth in the Serpentine Gallery's annual Marathon series, an ambitious event that brings together the fields of art, culture, science and technology. Previous Marathons were the Interview Marathon, 2006 (with Rem Koolhaas); the Experiment Marathon, 2007 (with Olafur Eliasson); the Manifesto Marathon, 2008; the Poetry Marathon, 2009; the Map Marathon, 2010; the Garden Marathon, 2011 and last year's Memory Marathon.

89plus

89plus is a long-term, international, multi-platform research project co-founded by Simon Castets and Hans Ulrich Obrist. It is conceived as a mapping of the generation born in or after 1989. Without forecasting artistic trends or predicting future creation, 89plus manifests itself through panels, books, periodicals and exhibitions, bringing together individuals from a generation whose voices are only starting to be heard, yet which makes up nearly half of the world's population.

The year 1989 saw the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the start of the post-Cold War period, the introduction of the world wide web and the beginning of the universal availability of the internet, as well as the orbit of the first global positioning system satellite. Positing a relationship between these world-changing events and creative production at large, 89plus introduces the work of some of this generation's most inspiring protagonists.

Since an introductory panel held in January 2013 at the DLD (Digital-Life-Design) conference in Munich, 89plus has conducted research in Australia with Kaldor Public Art Projects and Hong Kong with Art Basel's Salon series. In partnership with the Park Avenue Armory in New York, 89plus selected visual artist and curator Alex Dolan to be artist-in-residence during the Armory's Under Construction series, taking place in September 2013.
