Coming Soon

Taking as its starting point the extraordinary cases of premonitory artworks, the exhibition looks at our relationship and ways of being towards what is ahead, eludes and awaits us. Between predictions, oracles, systems of anticipation and capitulations, the exhibition mixes commissions to contemporary artists with historical objects. Taking up artist Barbara Kruger's phrase, "the future belongs to those who can see it", Coming Soon addresses what the future opens up in terms of visions, and what it discreetly tells us about the present; how our hopes or our pessimism manifests itself; our capacity to defy a certain determinism or, conversely, of surrendering to what is coming.

Engaging us to think urgently about the future through different understandings of togetherness, Coming Soon focuses on possible paths of writing, imagining, creating and embodying collective outcomes.
