About the Exhibition
From early broadsheets to new electronic media, print has
been not only the vehicle for news but the very arena in which
information has been publicly debated. With the significant
changes that have constellated around globalism—migrations
of populations, differently developing economies, political
shifts and confrontations—new means of informing, creating
and mobilizing audiences have developed, and relationships
of individual to information and consensus forms, such as
history and its authority, have rapidly evolved. Projects
by Thomas Kilpper, Carl Pope, Francesc Ruiz, Superflex, Swoon,
Barthélémy Toguo, and YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY
INDUSTRIES engage and expand the strategies and effects of
public media. Most have been commissioned for this exhibition;
installed in and around Temple Gallery, they generate new
dynamics of exchange with innovative and reconfigured media
platforms, rewritten histories and new imaginaries of place.

young artists for the production and presentation of their
work and a forum for the larger community to examine the most
recent developments in contemporary art and their relationships
to broader cultural contexts.
