The Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design is pleased to present the exhibition
The Future Imaginary, opening January 24, 2009 with a public reception for the artists from
4-6pm. On view through March 28, 2009, the exhibition features work by 11 artists whose work responds to the new interactive DVD novel The Imaginary 20th Century by Norman Klein, Margo Bistis and Andreas Kratky. The exhibition is sponsored by OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery and Public Programs, OTIS Board of Governors, The Center for Integrated Media at California Institute of the Arts, The David Bermant Foundation, and The Durfee Foundation. Exhibition related programming includes a conversation with Tom Leeser, Norman Klein and Margo Bistis on Sunday, February 8 at 4pm, and an exhibition tour led by the curators Tom Leeser and Meg Linton on Saturday, March 28, 11am.
Exhibition Curators Tom Leeser, Director of the Center for Integrated Media at California Institute of the Arts, and Meg Linton, Director of OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery and Public Programs, worked in collaboration with author Norman Klein and historian Margo Bistis to create this dynamic, kinetic and provocative interpretation of man’s need to envision the future. The curators and artists are engaging with the novel by assembling work in response to Klein’s interest in what he calls the “misremembering of the future.” Featured artists previewed the DVD novel, and responded by creating a new work or submitting an existing work that engages the premise.
