The Future is (not) Guilty

The Future is (not) Guilty explores the concept of future-oriented archive by questioning its different aspects. What, how and why does the archive contain? What meaning does it have in the perspective of future? Can we explain the future within this archive? What is the language of the archive and how is it constructed? How do different elements of an archive (and within this exhibition – different projects) construct meaning/knowledge? How do we deal with this knowledge?

One of the key ideas of this exhibition is that an archive is never neutral and is always multilayered (visually, conceptually, through interconnections of different materials)… 

Five artists develop this idea through their projects, creating interactive display, like a playground for visitors to experience the future through the activation of artistic projects: manipulating images, creating their own narratives, experiencing artistic installations.

In the heart of this project is a collaborative process-based practice that allowed us to conduct a collective object that is in  constant transformation (exactly as an archive and the knowledge is!) regarding the different contexts for its presentation/activation. 

The world pandemic crisis during spring 2020 transformed our exhibition in a multilayered project with three parts: digital project, catalogue and exhibition. Our group reflexions about the message in a bottle for the future got another meaning – the lockdown made our future more uncertain and fragile, created a worrisome atmosphere and anxiety, that are often related to reflexions on future. Suddenly, the process became a message itself, a statement, an engagement: initiating discussions and reflexions through a collaborative curatorial practice became an answer and a solution. It became our message in a bottle for the future.
