American Art in the 3rd Millennium
-These are the Uncertain States of America where nothing is fully possible to predict and where surprise is always around the corner."
Daniel Birnbaum, Gunnar B. Kvaran, Hans Ulrich Obrist.
The exhibition consists of more than 120 works by over 40 young artists, and presents a wide spectrum of expressions, from video and film to installations and paintings. Although the exhibition is comprised of rich and varied material, certain common features are apparent. The curators note that they have been confronted with a narrative art, and an ability to tell new and disparate stories. They have encountered artists who are cognizant of their historical context, and who, on many different levels, express a clear social and political consciousness. Meanwhile, all the works break new creative ground, and have a strong aesthetic awareness.
-Clearly we want this exhibition to reflect the variety of expressions and the heterogeneity of the artistic landscape, but in the end the intensity and indisputable quality of the works remain our key criteria."
Daniel Birnbaum, Gunnar B. Kvaran, Hans Ulrich Obrist.
