David Maljkovic participates in the groupshow Tomorrow Was Already Here, curated by Julieta González, at MARCO - Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Monterrey - in Mexico.
This exhibition examines the historiographical element to contemporary art through the works of artists who look retrospectively at previous visions of the future of modernity. It is structured around the paradox of the circularity of time, a topic often tackled in science fiction and which is built upon some of the predictions for modernity made during the Cold War.
A selection of works from the Museo Tamayo’s collection contextualizes the imaginings displayed in the exhibition in small displays as if in a “period room” which act as time capsules, offering various versions of the “modern” that vary between pessimistic, anxiety-filled expressions of some of the sculptural forms of the 1950s and early 1960s, and their relation to the specific architectural and technological concepts from that period.
