AN ARCHEOLOGY OF THE FUTURE

АРХЕОЛОГИЯ БУДУЩЕГО
A PROJECT BY GOSHA OSTRETSOV CURATED BY SIMON NJAMI

This exhibition is a journey conceived by Russian artist Gosha Ostretsov and his curator Simon Njami. It takes place at Palazzo Nani Bernardo from May 8 to June 30, 2017.

 «I’ve been abducted hundreds of times» is a hallucination, a heterochrony, and archaeology of the future. Using the specific world of an artist, we have decided to present history as a script in which components complement each other, break up and conduct a dialogue. These components are an Italian renaissance palazzo, relics of Soviet-era culture, archives, an interstellar flight, literature and, of course, the plasticity of Venice hosting the best examples of contemporary art from around the world. We have put our heads together with Gosha Ostretsov to tell you a story where everyone can find himself or herself, a story of all forms and all periods in human history.
