THE WHOLE EARTH: California and The Disappearance of The Outside


Öyvind Fahlström, Section of World Map - A Puzzle, 1973
"The exhibition and the conference The Whole Earth are dedicated to the story of the image of the 'blue planet' which has become one of the most influential images in history. The project takes its starting point in historical developments in California since the 1960s: using materials from cultural history and artistic works, the exhibition will critically explore the application of ecological-systemic concepts to society, politics, and aesthetics. The transformation of romantic and technophile ideas from the realm of counterculture and cybernetics led to concepts of the system and self-management in network capitalism that have a global impact today."
