"I am Future Melancholic"

Tate Modern / 20th January 2007 - 7pm
www.tank.tv / 15th January - 28th February 2007

This show presents moving images by artists whose practice reflects a vision
of tomorrow. The structures and systems of reality are examined to reveal
glimpses into what we call 'the future'.
This ineffable and intangible concept, that constantly haunts the present,
here provokes a wealth of musings and imaginings.

In 'Bruxelles 4023', Mathieu Delvaux & Xavier van Huffel perform street
interviews to ask the public what they think Brussels might be like in 4023.
The answers, as varied as the people themselves, reveal the concept of the
future as a screen for hopes, fears and fantasy. A starting point into an
exploration of tomorrow…

Challenging, doubt-inducing and transformative aspects of 'the future' can
be perceived in Vito Acconci's repetitive acts, recorded in a super8 film
'Break-Through' or in Philippe Meste's detonative video 'LHRB'.
Rachel Reupke's 'Infrastructure' is born of a fascination with movie special
effects and narrative devices.
And Carsten Höller's 'One minute of doubt' and 'Punktefilm' induct a
representation of our 'timeless everyday', and magically echo the playful
nature of his present turbine hall installation.
Laurent Montaron shows us a fictive exploration of time and travel through
his `Readings', while Matthieu Laurette's impressive cocktail of celebrity
lookalikes brings us into confusion at a blured vision of the limits between
performance and observation.
Mai Yamashita and Naoto Kobayashi's star, in 'When I wish Upon a Star' gives
us time we need to wish upon…

Artists include: Erwin Wurm, Haris Epaminonda, Xavier Veilhan, Carsten
Höller, Philippe Meste, Susanne Bürner, Laurent Montaron, Chris Cornish,
Mathieu Delvaux & Xavier Van Huffel, Bernard Gigounon, Matthieu Laurette,
Rachel Reupke, John Latham, Vito Acconci and Mai Yamashita & Naoto
Kobayashi.

Artist Mathieu Delvaux, Matthieu Laurette and Susanne Bürner with musician
Steve Trafford (ex member of the Fall / member of Tycoons Follies), will be
present at the Tate Modern screening to introduce their work.

"I am Future Melancholic" is at Tate Modern at 7pm on Saturday 20 January
2007 (www.tate.org.uk) and online on www.tank.tv from 15 January to 28
February 2007
