Annual review 2023 - Expo 2121






An open call is made each year for this exhibition, which is to be unveiled in the year 2121.

In 2121 none of us are here presumably. Given this time frame people are encouraged to think long-term since there is little gain nor much retroactive effect with a time span longer than life. The frame can help us reflect on what we are now. In relation to this open call, there are no self-reinforcing incentives, no money, nothing to look forward to, nothing to show off.

A group of curators review the contributions each year. These reviews are documented for posterity and made available. With these yearly discussions the time capsule is not hermetically sealed.

This is the annual review for 2023, with to go.
