“If you want to understand the causes made in the past, look at the results as they are manifest in the present. And if you want to know what results will be manifest in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.” What will the world be like in the future and will there be a place for humanity in it? Art & Science help us to imagine answers to these questions. Both begin in the imagination, constantly questioning what we perceive to be true and looking at the world around us with new eyes all the time. Future Proof brings together artists who work in scientific and technological contexts to contribute additional perspectives, re-frame debates, and create paths for new thinking to emerge. Featuring new sculptural work and prints from The Xenophon Archive, The Lab Gallery (Dublin) is opening Future Proof on Thursday 14 September. Exhibition curated by Sheena Barrett and Emer O'Boyle. http://www.dublincityartsoffice.ie/the-lab/exhibitions/future-proof |
