Press Release

Thinking, dreaming, foreseeing or fearing the future has shaped our presence in the world since its very beginnings. In our current context, one of profound metamorphosis and uncertainty, Coming Soon revisits this relationship we have with the unknown.

The exhibition looks at our relationship and ways of being towards what is ahead, eludes and awaits us. Between predictions, oracles, systems of anticipation and capitulations, the exhibition mixes commissions to contemporary artists with historical objects.

Taking up artist Barbara Kruger’s phrase, ‘the future belongs to those who can see it’, Coming Soon addresses what our conception of the future says of present times; how our hopes, our pessimism, our desires and anxieties manifest themselves; how different ways of beings and attitudes translate. The future is a time-space in constant evolution, which all don’t get to inhabit under the same terms and conditions. Engaging us to think urgently about the future through different understandings of togetherness, Coming Soon focuses on possible paths of writing, imagining, creating and embodying collective outcomes.
