The fiction of the Contemporary: speculative collectivity and the global transnational. Lecture.
The fiction of the Contemporary: speculative collectivity and the global transnational. Lecture. "Art practices today are subject to time primarily in the form of a demand for contemporaneity. There is, I believe, something exemplary about The Atlas Group's works combination of contemporaneity and fiction with regard to the construction of a critical category of contemporary art. The Atlas Group Project is exemplary as an artistic construction and expression - a construction and thereby an expression - of the fiction of the contemporary itself. More particularly, it will be argued, the art of The Atlas Group is most productively understood as a construction/expression of the fiction of the contemporary in the specific form of the speculative collectivity of the globally transnational".
