Dystopia Exhibition at CAPC Bordeaux Explores Chaotic Visions

The CAPC Musée d'art contemporain in Bordeaux presented 'Dystopia,' an exhibition running from May 13 to August 28, 2011, conceived from a scenario by science-fiction writer Mark von Schlegell and realized with Alexis Vaillant. The show featured 46 international artists, both historical and emerging, including Robert Grosvenor, Sebastian Hammwöhner, Cosima von Bonin, Des Hughes, Jesus Mari Lazkano, Andreas Dobler, Peter Hutchinson, Isa Genzken, On Kawara, Michael Krebber, Mathieu Tonetti, Peter Coffin, Cyprien Gaillard, Aurélien Froment, Oscar Tuazon, and Josef Strau. The exhibition aimed to immerse viewers in a chaotic vision of dystopia, oscillating between sensations of overheating and glaciation, with works exploring themes of conflict, uncertainty, and societal complexity. The press text was written by Didier Arnaudet.
