After more than 15 exhibitions and eight international collaborative projects (amongst others Budapest, Riga, Tel Aviv) JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION is now celebrating its 10th anniversary in June this year. The anniversary exhibition titled GENERATION LOSS was conceived by British artist Ed Atkins.
The term “Generation Loss” generally refers to the process of a qualitative loss in successively copied data. Everything that reduces the representative quality as copies of data are made, can be regarded as a form of ‘generation loss’. However, this holds true not just for data formats or material media, but also manifests itself in an ideological sense in politics, culture, nature, from one generation to the next.
GENERATION LOSS reflects upon an analogy made between data loss and social change. Exclusively for this exhibition an installation was chosen, that separates works from their original historical and installational context, and choreographed them into a series of groups that play simultaneously. This reorganization reveals both the tacit interrelationships of the collection, and also the ways in which generations – of artists and technologies – inherit, lose, change and corrupt their precursors.
Across 48 works, GENERATION LOSS showcases the entire spectrum of the works in the collection. This will provide a unique and unprecedented overview of the structure of the history and the historicity of the JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION.
