A talk by curators Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen for the opening of Chapter III: Renaissance, the conclusion of the Retail Apocalypse exhibition, focusing on contemporary transformations in retail. What are designers doing to subvert and disrupt industry norms? How can artists address political issues of labour, gender, class, and value through commercial tactics?
22 Sept 2022, Paul Desmarais Theater, CCA.
Relaunched at the CCA, Retail Apocalypse is presented as a narrative in three parts. Unpacking the research initiated at ETH Zurich in phases, the exhibition explores current commercial transformations and their impact on society and the built environment, in the context of historic cycles of accumulation, decline, and reinvention.
