After the Future

The exhibition project named After the Future shows collaborative works by two representatives of the contemporary Dutch art scene, the visual and performance artist Emmeline de Mooij and the graphic designer Adriaan Mellegers. The project titled after a book by Franco Berardi alias Bifo draws on the artists’ four-month residency at the MeetFactory studios, exploring the boundary between fine art, scenography and formally simplified signs. The exhibited objects, sculptures, large-format prints and installations tease the viewer through their visuality, often derived from familiar graphical and architectonic elements taken out of their original contexts. The artists manipulate with them freely, in order to create a new science-fiction narrative, built from traces of the past, present and the (possible) future.
