Past Future Perfect
SKICA
26.9.–5.10.2014
The Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art meets contemporary Slovenian design. With Past Future Perfect the curators Barbara Predan and Petra Černe Oven each create a connection between two selected objects. The first is part of the museum’s permanent collection, the other a contemporary Slovenian design. By highlighting their differences we shall demonstrate the way from there (museumised object) to here (contemporary intervention). Both ends of the way are indispensible for a clear look into the future. The experts’ discussion “Collecting the Future?” is also devoted to the evolution of the material world and the transition to the digital.
