Morning News
Opening 6.03.2010 > 17h00
Exposition 07.03 > 20.06.2010
The Morning News is an exhibition which attempts to convey the sense of
anxiety that an unsure economy and world state contribute to; a calculated exposure to information which leaves the average cultural consumer with a sense that things are out of balance. This is not a show explicitly about the economic crisis; it is about the state of the society when communication is king, when the news at the top of the hour creates an ambience for your daily life, allowing for a quotidian dose of negativity. More than ever, and at an increasingly fast pace, we are exposed to information from a variety of reliable, partisan and objective sources. We can seek out as much or as little as we want; but by the turning on the radio, computer, or television, we are instantly under the influence and effects of current events and how the lens of the media transforms them.
Bringing together key works from the collection of FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais with selected works by a younger generation of artists from the United States, United Kingdom and Japan, this exhibition connects works from the past 30 years to create a compendium of this feeling. Rather than be strict in the literal appearances or connotations, it include diverse works which better portray the complications of this time, but also that of the past- this is a feeling which can, and will, never dissipate.
