BLEAK POSTCARDS FROM THE FUTURE

Željko Kipke: Third retrofuturist exhibition: Hello from Zagreb, Ulrich Gallery, December 12 – December 31, 2011

The term “retrofuturism” was first used by the editor of the eponymous magazine and multimedia artist Lloyd Dunn in 1983, referring to a direction in art that presents the future from the perspective of the past. It spread through different fan cycles, especially SF, exploring the tension between the future and the past, based on imaginary technologies and parallel realities, shrouded with a feeling of nostalgia and dys/(u)topia.
