Xenogenesis
is an extensive and comprehensive polyphonic exploration of the work of The Otolith Group.
We would like to draw your attention to the recently published Xenogenesis publication of The Otolith Group, which can be found in MG and MSUM bookstores.
The exhibition is on view in + MSUM until September 3, 2022.
The Otolith Group's work weaves together many strands of imagination and speculation about the past and the future, including science fiction, postcolonial history, music, and scientific discovery. Their work pictures a society in which screens have become part of the natural world, communication is global, culture is political, human identity is crucial, but fluid, and history has not ended.
Xenogenesis was first shown at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven in May 2019, and was curated by Annie Fletcher. Its presentation in Slovenia is organized by Van Abbemuseum and Moderna galerija and co-curated by Annie Fletcher, Director, Irish Museum of Modern Art, and Igor Španjol, Curator, Moderna galerija, Ljubljana. The original exhibition architecture is designed by the Diogo Passarinho Studio.
Presenting all bodies of work contained in the Xenogenesis exhibition, this publication includes many materials and graphics from The Otolith Group's, broader practice, including performance, lecture and research material. The outcome of over four years of collaboration, research and conversation, the publication is not a chronological exhibition catalogue or retrospective but a cross-section of their work which includes substantial contributions from the artists themselves, in the form of writing and direct engagement with its production.
