An art work that used to be visible to a finite group of people, can now be disseminated on the internet available to an infinite global audience within a matter of seconds. What does this new relationship to artworks do to the position of art in society?

Comrades of Time Comrades of Time is the second of a series of exhibitions titled after the eponymous Boris Groys essay Comrades of Time published by e-flux in 2009. “Ours is a time in which we reconsider – not abandon, not reject, but analyse and reconsider – the modern projects”, in his text Boris Groys pleas for a reconsideration of modernity, not a rejection, not an embrace, but a reconsideration. This exhibition series is about the renewed position of the canonical arts - painting, sculpture, drawing - in a mediated and networked society. It explores a renewed confidence in the fundamental possibilities of art and artists using canonical forms and their relation to modernist principles of formalism, abstraction, repetition, expression, autonomy.

Participating artists: Gabriele Beveridge, Paul Cowan, Bryan Dooley, Koen Delaere, Matias Faldbakken, Nikolas Gambaroff, Wade Guyton, Bas van den Hurk, Marlie Mul, Magali Reus.
