WDKA Visual Culture Minor Exhibition
In FinalFinalFinal.obj, students from the Willem de Kooning Academy Visual Culture minor present a series of installations and performances that re-examine the ways in which we map and understand objects.
Hosted by MONO, this exhibition exists within the threshold of old and new, a monument and a ruin. It draws upon Federico Campagna's concept of fertile ruins; that remnants of decay can serve as a gateway to renewal.
In a time of rapid mechanical production and continuous digital exchange, it is easy to assume that progress is linear and ever-ascending. Yet, global political tensions and cultural turnovers challenge this confidence and suggest that what we call 'our world' may be drawing to a close. FinalFinalFinal.obj responds by asking: If we truly stand at an ending, what possibilities spark from the fragments we leave behind?
The space features over sixty makers, representing a wide variety of majors, such as Fine Art and Advertising. Eight subgroups present varying collaborative or individual approaches to making installations, witness how the works accompanying them transform ruins — real or imagined — into fertile spaces for rethinking how we create, inhabit, and envision our surroundings. Feel invited to explore these generative fragments, and discover how each crack in the present can reveal unexpected futures.
This exhibition is supported by the Fleur Groenendijk Foundation
