为了在2019年举行一次重要的新展览,伦敦白教堂美术馆(Whitechapel Gallery)将以其1956年的开创性展览《这就是明天》为样板。由建筑师、作家和雕塑家西奥·克罗斯比(Theo Crosby)组织,这是一个由37位艺术家、建筑师、设计师和作家组成的12个小组的作品。其核心是独立团体,原始流行音乐集体(在不同阶段)由雷纳·班纳姆、劳伦斯·阿洛韦、奈杰尔·亨德森、爱德华多·保洛齐、理查德·汉密尔顿、威廉·特恩布尔和约翰·麦克海尔组成。这是明天吗?此外,还有12组当代建筑师、艺术家和其他文化从业者,以突出合作的潜力,解决我们今天面临的关键问题,并提供对未来的展望。他们包括Adjaye Associates、Andrés Jaque/政治创新办公室、Marina Tabassum Architects、David Kohn、Rana Begum、Cecile B.Evans、Simon Fujiwara和Kapwani Kiwanga。 Accompanying the innovative new 2019 exhibition `Is This Tomorrow?’ at Whitechapel Gallery, this fully-illustrated catalogue re-imagines the classic 1956 publication made for the Gallery’s seminal exhibition `This is Tomorrow’. For a major new presentation in 2019, Whitechapel Gallery is taking as a model its groundbreaking 1956 exhibition `This is Tomorrow’, an event which is indelibly linked to the institution’s history. Organised and developed by architect, writer and sculptor Theo Crosby, `This is Tomorrow’ featured 37 artists, architects, designers and writers who worked together in 12 small groups. In the catalogue, Lawrence Alloway introduced the exhibition as `devoted to the possibilities of collaboration’, the results of which `appear to be setting up a programme for the future.’ `Is This Tomorrow?’ will also feature 12 groups of contemporary architects, artists and other cultural practitioners to highlight the potential of collaboration, to address key issues we face today and to offer a vision of the future. Both UK and international participants will explore subjects from conflict and warfare, economic inequality, migration and resource scarcity, to education, labour, trade and technology, comparing and contrasting the ideas of the original `This is Tomorrow’ artists and architects whose concerns with communication theory, mass culture and the vernacular reflected their associations with British Constructivism and the Independent Group. The accompanying catalogue will take its inspiration from the original seminal 1956 publication, with each group presenting their process of design and collaboration through plans, sketches and photographs, plus accompanying explanatory texts. Architects featured include Adjaye Associates (UK/US/Ghana), Alberto Kalach/TAX (Mexico), Marina Tabassum Architects (Bangladesh) and Studio Anne Holtrop (Netherlands). Artists featured include Rana Begum, Cecile B. Evans, Simon Fujiwara and Kapwani Kiwanga.
