Held Together with Water
<p>By combining the tools, experiments and ethics of early conceptual artists with those of the new knowledge communities of the participatory web, <em>Held Together With Water</em> attempts to link parallel emergences in different eras.</p> <p><em>HTWW </em>is a fragmented exhibition that, rather than illustrating virtual reality through the borrowing of its aesthetic codes, presents artists whose strategies embody new possibilities, positions or worldviews. A side step in the generational understanding of contemporary art production, the post-internet hashtag and its global interpretation.</p> <p>This publication is not an exhibition catalog but an exhibition in a book. This printed groupshow includes pieces by the artists Art & Language, Gilles Furtwängler, Sébastien Mennet and Lawrence Weiner, several anonymous artists as well as an essay on art in the post-internet era by Roxane Bovet.</p> <p><em>Bilingual in French and English.</em></p>
