Curatorial Statement
Been there, done that.
Post-Everything, the first exhibition of Rotunda Gallery's 2005-2006 season, explores the very idea of flux in contemporary art. Post-modern, post-apocalyptic, post-minimal, post-war, post-partum, post-colonial, post-feminist, post-credible, post-historical; all these identifiers imply we are currently in a state of transition, something breaking loose from its past, pointing to the future, but not yet fully articulated.
Historically, new eras have begun as fragmented ideas that gain momentum, merging imperceptibly with the past to create the future. This phenomenon is heightened during times of political and economic uncertainty, often resulting in dramatic ruptures with the past. The formal principles of the Renaissance disintegrated into the instability and restlessness of the Mannerism, ushering in the Baroque. Fed by a climate of unending war, social unrest, mass consumer culture, and ever-escalating technology, we are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the past and uncertain about the future. As we hover on the edge of the new, Post-Everything asks: where will our drifting lead?
Are we really, as Jean Baudrillard would posit, at the end of history? Have we really seen, as Donald Kuspit would bemoan, The End of Art? Or is it simply Post-modernism's hang-over? Post-Everything offers no definitive answers, but creates a space in which viewers are invited to speculate for themselves, aided by a sampling of work by artists struggling to articulate a new vision of contemporary art.
