CURA.

Historical determinism asserts that every action in the present determines a small or large change in the future. Once that action has taken place, nothing in the future can be the same as it was before that action took place. This is also the case when entering 180 The Strand in London and leaving after a journey studded with an exceptional selection of video works that lead the visitor along a trail of images, at once radical and absolute. It is a journey through memory of some of the most iconic works produced in recent years, which curator Massimiliano Gioni in collaboration with The New Museum, The X Store and Vinyl Factory has selected to sum up the planning of the New York museum: from Camille Henrot to Oliver Laric, from Pipilotti Rist to Ed Atkins, from Wu Tsang to Ryan Trecartin and again Anri Sala, Wong Ping, Lili Reyanud-Dewar, Daria Martin, Cally Spooner, Laure Prouvost, Mounira Al Sohl, John Akomfrah, Maha Maamoun, Jonathas de Andrade, Hassan Khan, Ragnar Kjartansson, Cheng Ran, Kahil Joseph. These works, thanks to a skillfully orchestrated ephemeral architecture, lead the visitor into a suspended limbo of space and time, between awareness and alteration, between passage and permanence.
