POST 68 - DESIRE AND DEMAND

We interrogate the relevance of 68, the presence of the past.

Can 68 be a point of crystallization for contemporary political
aspirations for private and public freedoms.

And if not, what are the appropriate models for understanding
contemporary desires for political change?

We would like to invite artists born after may 68 to develop projects,
which reflect the events of 68 through thematizing their context,
mediated representations and relations to the present.

POST 68 - DESIRE AND DEMAND is an exhibition focussing on video, the
Internet, installation/media art, performance, music….

It will be located at the Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna from april 1 to
may 1 1998.

For the post 68 generation the only source of information about mai 68
has been the media, parents, teachers, and eyewitnesses.

In this context questions will be raised concerning the circulation of
myth, media images, historical fantasies, political utopias, possible
alternative lifestyles, the struggle with previous generations, the
conditions of one's own existence, the position of artists at that time
and their renaissance, retro cultures in fashion and style, education
policy and institutional structures…

Artists born after mai 68 are encouraged to contact us until january 30,
1998.
