The exhibition, called The Science of Imagination, shows works based on the ideologies, apocalyptic visions and science of the period between 1945 and 1989. In spite of the political change and the technological advances of the past two decades, the influence of the Cold War era on the arts has not faded, ?to the contrary, it has become a deep, fertile soil for contemporary culture,? LUMU says.
The exhibition seeks to answer the question of why this period is ?so fascinating, even if sometimes it seems obsolete, disheartening, or foolishly na?ve.?
The show features the work of Pawel Althamer, Gerard Byrne, István Csákány, Marine Hugonnier, Tamás Kaszás, Ádám Kokesch, Chris Marker, Anna Molska, Deimantas Narkevicius, Panamarenko, Daniel Roth, Saso Sedlacek, Jane and Louise Wilson.
The Science of Imagination, which involves the cooperation of the Siemens Foundation, runs from April 29 until June 27.
