Uncertain States of America – American Art in the 3rd Millennium
08. Oct. 2005 – 11. Dec. 2005
The exhibition is curated by the museums director Gunnar B. Kvaran and the internationally acclaimed curators Daniel Birnbaum and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Wishing to provide a picture of the new generation of American artists, the curators have chosen young artists with a new vision.
This art can be characterized as narrative and with a clear social and political consciousness. Yet one can also find a wide specter of themes and artistic ‘languages’ in the exhibition, which, in addition to extensive multi-media installations, includes a video- and sculpture exhibition, together with a program of performances, a lecture series and an extensive catalogue.
The artists presented in the exhibition: Allora & Calzadilla – Edgar Arceneaux/Rodney McMillian – Devendra Banhart – Frank Benson – Jennifer Bornstein – Mike Bouchet – Matthew Brannon – Anthony Burdin – Paul Chan – Sean Dack – Trisha Donnelly – Jim Drain – Piero Golia – Hannah Greely – Taft Green – GuytonWalker – Karl Haendel – Christian Holstad – Shane Huffman – Jiae Hwang – Matthew Day Jackson – Matt Johnson – Miranda July – Nate Lowman – Daria Martin – Matt McCormick – Ohad Meromi – Kori Newkirk – Seth Price – Adam Putnam – Cristina Lei Rodriguez – Matthew Ronay – Mika Rottenberg – Aïda Ruilova – Paul Sietsema – Josh Smith – Mika Tajima – TM Sisters – Jordan Wolfson – Mario Ybarra Jr. – Aaron Young
