Curated by Rirkrit Tiravanija as Artistic Director, with Jiwon Yu and Hyo Gyoung Jeon, 2024 Art Spectrum Dream Screen departs from the idea that artists in the Millennial and Post-Millennial generations have come to perceive the physical world differently in an era where experiences mediated through screens—the internet, games, films—have increasingly become commonplace. The title “Dream Screen” is a neologism that combines the dream, a fictional realm that is nevertheless a poignant indicator of the subconscious and the screen through which (in)direct experiences take place. It also refers to a device that facilitates fantastical remnants behind the screen. Taking this term for its title, the exhibition presents how the new generation of artists navigate the conditions of life and weave together their own stories based on screen-mediated experiences and fragmentary afterimages when the grand narrative and the myth of linear progress no longer provide a reliable prospect for the future.
I present Elysium without Shores, The Galaxy of Electrified Heat, The Spinning Shadows and Waiting For The Late Moon Drops.
