Details
Notes for Tomorrow features artworks from around the world, brought together to reflect on a new global reality ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming out of a moment where collective crisis had to be managed through collective care, Independent Curators International (ICI) turned to 30 curators from 25 countries to consider the issues that have come to the fore in the pandemic’s aftermath, asking each of them to share one artwork that they believe is vital to be seen today. In this necessary moment of cultural transition, each work acts as a source of inspiration from the recent past toward new futures. Rather than proposing a single path forward, the artworks in Notes for Tomorrow present a network of overlapping solutions.
The works on view are connected across geographies by a shared interest in decolonization. In many works, nature is a recurring focus; at the same time, there are projects that imagine digital space as a point for connection to one another, and even to the sacred. A number of artists stress the importance of sustaining cultural memory and sharing knowledge, while also maintaining a critical gaze toward the monument and the museum. Above all, the works in Notes for Tomorrow call for change.
