Dudokdegroot is pleased to announce our new collaboration with artist Jasper de Beijer.
De Beijer is currently working on a new project for an exhibition at Dudokdegroot: I have seen the Future, based on the Futurama presentation by General Motors during the World’s Fair in New York in 1939. At this fair there was a GM building with an enormous model of a landscape that showed what the US would look like in the future: the automotive world (designed by Norman Bel Geddes). This utopia of limitless possibilities shows a future world in which humanity has unlimited access to all natural resources and complete control over nature. As a child, De Beijer grew up in this positivism and had the idea of living in a world in which unlimited things are possible: saving the earth from an environmental disaster, the end of wars, racism and other injustices. For I have seen the Future, De Beijer creates his own futurama in which photography, drawing, film and sculpture come together.
SPECIAL EDITION: As a scoop of I have seen the Future, Jasper de Beijer presents the above Special Edition. This work can be seen and purchased in the gallery from Saturday September 23. For more information, send an email to:
