FEEDFORWARD. THE ANGEL OF HISTORY
Cleaning up after the 20th century. What is progress now?
22.10.2009 - 05.04.2010
LABoral Centro de Arte, Gijón, Spain
Feedforward. The Angel of History addresses the current moment in
history where the wreckage of political conflict and economic
inequality is piling up, while globalized forces-largely enabled by
the "progress" of digital information technologies-inexorably feed us
forward. The exhibition title references Paul Klee's painting
"Angelus Novus," which Walter Benjamin famously interpreted as an
"angel of history" transfixed by the wreckage of the past that is
piling up in front of him while being propelled backwards into the
uncertain future by a storm from paradise (progress).
