Comprised of over 40 pieces by prominent artists like Judith Barry, Juliana Huxtable, Pierre Huyghe, Josh Kline, Laura Owens, Trevor Paglen, Seth Price, Cindy Sherman, Frances Stark and Martine Syms, the exploratory exhibit has been brought to Ann Arbor through partnerships with U-M colleges, public programming as well as numerous sponsors.
Created as a collaboration of paintings, photography, video, sculptures, web-based art and performances, Art in the Age of the Internet, 1989 to Today will create a window into the depths of internet influence on how art is produced and how artists use the internet.
It has five thematic sections: (Network and Circulation, Hybrid Bodies, Virtual Worlds, States of Surveillance and Performing the Self) which artists have responded to. Themes relating to the control of technology in our lives, like gender identity, relationships and politics, are carried throughout the experience of the exhibit.
Organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, the radical exhibit has been curated by Eva Respini as Barbara Lee chief curator and Jeffrey De Blois as assistant curator.
