Palais de Tokyo (Paris) and ACRUSH (Zurich) invite you to an exhibition by appointment in parallel to MANIFESTA 11 Zurich.

True to its commitment to showcase emerging artists through extramural exhibitions, in parallel to MANIFESTA 11 Zurich, Palais de Tokyo presents the exhibition “Your Memories are our Future”. The show is the fruit of a unique partnership with the art production company ACRUSH AG settled in a former railway maintenance plant.

Curators: Julien Fronsacq (Curator, Palais de Tokyo) and Scipio Schneider (ACRUSH)

The exhibition, by its curator, Julien Fronsacq:

“The exhibition transforms an old maintenance plant into a bedroom where day and night, work and dreams trade with each other. The idle machines become dioramas. The exhibition sets out to be a real platform where the public and private spheres come together; personal desires share the stage with public representation, marketing and magical poetry, astronomy and archaeology.

Just as the former railway maintenance plant has now become a place of artistic production, the exhibition goes beyond the fixed categories that usually distinguish industry, craft and art, to offer an indeterminate critical consideration of the artwork. The machines surrounding it are still predominant, preventing a perception of total detachment from the techniques that surround it.

Amid the controversy over the question of technique, ‘Your Memories are our Future’, turns to the writer Alain Damasio from whom the exhibition takes its title. Beyond the split between the championing of the machine and reactionary pessimism, the social science fiction author reminds us how even the imagination is unable to overcome a ‘mechanical‘ development during this present day era, based on the ‘world machine’.”
