Facing forward : art & theory from a future perspective

This multidisciplinary volume examines the intersection of art and theory in the 21st century. Essays analyse how visual culture and speculative predictions shape contemporary understandings of the future across themes such as technology, history, and urbanism.

brief_description
The project 'Facing Forward' started with a collaboration between five institutions: the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam, De Appel arts centre, W139, the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam and the art magazine Metroplis M. Having previously organized the lecture series and publications 'Right About Now: Art &​ Theory in the 1990s' (2005/​2006) and 'Now is the Time: Art &​ Theory in the 21st Century' (2008/​2009), the organizing committee decided to take the final step in this timeline and turn its attention to the far horizon. Informed by a shared interest in the role that history, speculation, and utopianism play in the field of contemporary art and design (as well as the larger context of global, socio-economic and political developments), a selection of seven themes emerged from the conversations of the initial organisers. These would eventually shape the seven lecture and discussions events - collected in this volume of essays - publicised under the banner Art &​ Theory From a Future Perspective.
