"I am Future Melancholic"

Go Gallery / 15th May – 9th June 2007

tank.tv is pleased to announce that 'I Am Future Melancholic' will be
travelling to gogallery, Milan this May. This new exhibition will be another
chance to see tank.tv's January show and the programme from the screening at
Tate Modern.

The 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 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.
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, Carsten Höller, Philippe Meste, Susanne Bürner,
Chris Cornish, Mathieu Delvaux & Xavier Van Huffel, Bernard Gigounon,
Matthieu Laurette, Rachel Reupke, John Latham and Mai Yamashita & Naoto
Kobayashi.

"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.

Curated by Anne-Sophie Dinant and Laure Prouvost for tank.tv and gogallery,
Milan.

The show will be exhibited alongside an exclusive pre-launch of the
forthcoming tank.tv DVD Fresh Moves: New Moving Images from the UK.
