THE LONELINESS of the INDEX FINGER
(Phantom View)

Curated by Linus Elmes at UKS, Lakkegata 55d, Oslo
Exhibition with Operatic reading.

 

Two spectators, visiting from the future attended the exhibition. There arrival is to be based upon a retrospective interest in to “The Loneliness of the Index Finger (Phantom View)” exhibition:

“In the future this exhibition marks a breaking point in history, authorities have proclaimed this very moment to be of great interest to the understanding of the development of the depraved historism and its vicious roundelay. The opening of this exhibition has been identified as a critical point. It was the birth of the nocturnalistic era and the end of context relativism.”

Our time traveling friends - accompanied by a Harpist – have been designated an important mission. They are here to give their initiated view regarding the state of our contemporary art and society, taking this exhibition as a point of departure. Further on, they will perform a live attentive critical reading based upon their future knowledge of history and art-ideology. Their reflections will be transformed, expressed through song, recorded and brought back to the future.
