"Future Shock" Exhibition
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
Named after Alvin Toffler’s book by the same title, Future Shock brings together Laudano, Lindley, Mansfield, McKenzie and Travers who were all born after the book was written. These artists engage their own present conditions; the era Alvin Toffler was looking to understand. They undertake this aware of being the children raised by the baby boom, the grandchildren of the “greatest generation.” In 1970 Toffler predicted a “disease of change” would occur, and in an age of rapid technological advances and multinational capitalism one only needs to look at current events to concur with this assessment. This exhibition features five artists whose disparate work is an act of adaptation and understanding in Alvin Toffler’s shocking future.
