From Counterculture to Cyberculture curated by David Lewis: Lucy Dodd, Alex Mackin Dolan, Dawn Kasper, Israel Lund, Jared Madere, K.R.M. Mooney, Trevor Paglen, Sean Paul and Bruce Conner
This exhibition is inspired by, and named in honor of, Fred Turner's important history, From Counterculture to Cyberculture.
The exhibition is not, however, a literal history. Rather: it extrapolates from Turner's historical arc in order to present a matrix of contemporary concerns, and emerging artists whose ways of thinking are enmeshed in those concerns. From Turner's research it develops a historical conceit for art-making in the present. A web of possibilities.
