Future Legends

FOLIO by Alserkal

From spooky foxes, to street-crawling museums, Communist icons to futuristic ghost cities. ADAPT TO SURVIVE: NOTES FROM THE FUTURE takes the unique visions of seven international artists to create a kaleidoscope of thrilling possibilities, surreal suggestions and esoteric explanations on how the future might yet evolve for us. Having exhibited in London’s Hayward Gallery, in its HENI Project Space under the auspices of curator Dr Cliff Lauson, the show is now running at Alserkal Avenue’s CONCRETE space, marking the first time a Hayward show has travelled to the UAE. In this special edition of CONVERSATIONS ON THE AVENUE, we meet curator Dr Lauson who walks us through this compelling collection of multimedia works, allowing us to absorb the ideas behind them and provide the basis for our own responses and reactions to the art. Presented and produced by Arsalan Mohammad.
