Generation Loss

On the occasion of the ten-year anniversary of the Julia Stoschek Collection in D sseldorf, the British artist Ed Atkins has conceived the exhibition Generation Loss. The term denotes the process of data quality deterioration resulting from changing technologies, while also suggesting the idea of intergenerational social change. The catalog takes up this question and addresses how the reception of the moving image has changed from the 1970s to the present. In addition to video and film stills, it includes historical material about the works, plus installation views. Featured are works by Eleanor Antin, Ed Atkins & Simon Thompson, Charles Atlas, Lutz Bacher, Lynda Benglis, Bernadette Corporation, Johanna Billing, Dara Birnbaum, Hannah Black, Chris Burden, Patty Chang, Ian Cheng, Cheryl Donegan, Trisha Donnelly, Cao Fei, Fischli/Weiss, Cyprien Gaillard, Douglas Gordon, Barbara Hammer, Joan Jonas, Imi Knoebel, Mark Leckey, Gordon Matta-Clark, Paul McCarthy, Rachel Rose, Jack Smith and many others.
