  • Myths of the near future

Valles Vilchez, Laura, ed. 2021, Book, Myths of the near future TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Tenerife, Canary Islands. ISBN 978-84-949656-5-4

Abstract or Description:

The Tenerife International Photography Festival celebrated its first edition in 1991. Initially based on the study, discussion and circulation of photography, the festival has been incorporating other contemporary artistic manifestations in order to foster an understanding of our contemporary visual cultures. Myths of the Near Future was the proposal chosen following an open call for the XV edition. Directed by the editor and researcher Laura Vallés Vílchez, it offers a twist on previous proposals and incorporates a wider curatorial team in order to offer a multiplicity of voices and approaches. Mette Kjærgaard Præst, Alba Colomo Gil, and the collective Cine por venir propose a curatorial methodology, with an origin that is outlined in the series of exquisite corpses, which shape the collective drawings from the collection housed in the TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes and the Isla de Tenerife Photography Centre. From the promise or threat of what is presented to us as alien, Myths of the Near Future proposes to think of the space of representation as a place from which to share worlds, obligations and reparations of our senses, governed by the means of our milieus.
