Unmonumental

"Unmonumental: The Object in the 21st Century" is organized by the New Museum’s curatorial team of Richard Flood, Chief Curator; Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator; and Massimiliano Gioni, Director of Special Exhibitions

Isa Genzken’s Elefant (2006)

“Unmonumental” is an exhibition about fragmented forms, torn pictures and clashing sounds. Investigating the nature of collage in contemporary art practices, “Unmonumental” also describes the present as an age of crumbling symbols and broken icons. Inspired by the art it presents, “Unmonumental” grows over time like an assemblage. It starts as a survey of recent sculpture, and morphs as layers of images, sounds, and Internet-based art are added in three subsequent parts.

Rachel Harrison’s Huffy Howler (2004)

The first exhibition in the cycle, “Unmonumental: The Object in the 21st Century” (December 1, 2007 – March 23, 2008), explores the reemergence of sculptural assemblage, in the second part of the exhibition, “Collage: The Unmonumental Picture” (January 16, 2008 – March 23, 2008), two-dimensional works by eleven artists take over the museum walls and surround the sculptures, in the third part, “The Sound of Things: Unmonumental Audio” (February 13, 2008 – March 23, 2008), carries the theme of unmonumentality into the realm of sound.

The final addition to the exhibition, "Montage: Unmonumental Online" (February 15, 2008 – March 23, 2008), occurs on the Web at rhizome.org/montage and introduces works by an international group of artists who use appropriation to create Internet-based assemblages. The artists in “Montage: Unmonumental Online” extend the radical practice of collage to the Internet: using digital images, sounds, and code, they interpret fictions and fantasies found online.

John Jordan è uno dei prime movers del movimento noglobal. Da Reclaim the Streets al carnevale anticapitalista di Londra, dal Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army fino ai campeggi illegali, ecoautonomi e autogestiti per agire dal basso contro il cambiamento climatico del 2006 e 2007 in UK (e presto anche in Germania e Francia), il genio attivista di John sta dietro molte delle più importanti innovazioni politiche, comunicative e sociali del movimento di
Seattle-Genova-Rostock. Con la co-cospiratrice Isa Fremen sarà per 3 giorni a Milano, che hanno scelto come tappa italica della loro ecodissea alla ricerca dei luoghi dell'utopia sul continente europeo.
Il loro intento infatti quello di esplorare le forme dell'eresia politica nei diversi spazi sociali in Europa più che di diffondere il loro rivoluzionario paradigma di ecoattivismo, che diversamente da veganesimo e animalismo con cui pure è in rapporto, si avvale della peer-reviewed science per denunciare le forze e gli interessi che stanno dietro la catastrofe biosferica in corso, così come l'ipocrisia dei grandi inquinatori e tecnocrati riverniciati di verde (il c.d. greenwashing).
