‘Sequelism, Part 3: Possible, Probable and Preferable Futures’ is an ambitious, multi-faceted project that looks into the future and at that which is yet to happen. It will consider how the inexact arena of futurology is used as a means to better comprehend the present and the past. Other featured artists include Heman Chong, Mariana Castillo Deball, Graham Gussin, Francesc Ruiz, Jordan Wolfson, Haegue Yang.
Romanian artist Victor Man won international renown when his work was presented in the Romanian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The event confirmed the strength of his work, which, in just a few years, has established him as one of the most interesting voices from Eastern Europe. His artistic output ranges from painting to sculpture, from installation to wall painting and printing. Using these tools, he builds installations in which the motif of memory intertwines with themes such as personal history, collective narrative, eroticism, power, desire, and the feeling of loss. The world of Victor Man is at times a dark one, in which reflections on the feeling of belonging and the nature of political and national identity overlay a more general contemplation of the human condition, melancholy, the violence of existence, and solitude.

A show curated by Arnolfini and Latitudes.
