Raqs Media Collective

The Global Contemporary. Art Worlds After 1989

ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe
17 September – 5 February 2012

Curated by Andrea Buddensieg & Peter Weibel, the exhibition The Global Contemporary, Art Worlds After 1989 examines the way in which globalization, both with its pervasive mechanisms of the market and its utopias of networking and generosity, impacts upon the various spheres of artistic production and reception.

The exhibition has been divided into different thematic sections and Raqs Media Collective will be exhibiting their work in World Time, The World as Transit Zone, which simulates the utopia of a world united in time and space and at the same time the resistance of reality.
