Post: A temporal condition differentiating the now from the previous
December 2nd, 2004- Jan 9th, 2005
Post:
Contemporary existence is always a condition that is post-something.
Post is an ever-mutable human condition: it is conceptually the antithesis
and grammatically the antonym of history. The artists in this show
have to attempted to communicate their current (post) relationship
with history. Some of these conditions are the result of very personal
and private histories; others are the result of more socially shared
histories. Common to all of the work presented is the contemporary
relevancy of the pieces only as they are a response to a past condition—Post
is always a relative term: without a precedent, post does not exist.
Each artist’s personal set of precedents influences their current
post-existence.
