History Now: The presence of the past in contemporary photography

History Now: The presence of the past in contemporary photography
Library Shelf Location 27.PETE
Publication Date 2003
Description In the exhibition History Now, we want to show how the presence of the past in our contemporary culture is portrayed in contemporary art- particularly in art which principally deals with photography and video. But we also want to address how artists conciously take the writitng of history into their own hands in order to give their own picture of events and people of our our own time, thererby giving them a role in the history that will form our future. The exhibitions includes works from the beginning of the 1990s until the present day; works that because of their visual strengths as well as their content create both a discursive and an experimental space in which one can reflect on the shifting meanings and expressions of history.
