How should we look forward?
How are we able to look at the future when the present is so uncertain and unstable? And if we do fix our gaze on the horizon, what and how do we see — is it utopia or dystopia, a purely speculative view or a mere extrapolation of current events? Ultimately, can the future be a productive model for visualizing contemporary power structures, global shifts, and changing relations? To face forward is not that simple anymore. However, during this last evening of the series of lectures Facing Forward a great number of experts, users, makers and other people in the creative field will share their ideas on the future perspectives of art.
Lecture Series: Facing Forward
The program of Facing Forward consisted of a series of evenings of lectures and debates, each focusing on a different pressing subject and together outlining a possible future scenario for contemporary art and (art) theory, presenting innovative models and strategies for the practice of art today.
Facing Forward was made possible by the generous support of the Mondriaan Fund, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, and SNS Reaal Fund.
