Join us in Chinatown for the opening of MX's inaugural group show.
Designed on the model of a corporate fares expo, the exhibition will feature works of various media that engage the aesthetic and cultural schema characteristic of the ideal-typical “corporation”. Visitors are invited to enter an immersive set showcasing works that together compose an abstracted imaginary of finance capitalism and neoliberalism-- with salient themes including market mediated representations of technological innovation, the progressive economization of “unproductive” behavior (the notion of “human capital”, its relation to biology and cognitive science), and the psychic profile of the so called “entrepreneur of the self”. On the other hand, the exhibition will thematize contemporary art’s internal corporate schema and the ways in which substantive concerns of art discourse and production reflect and valorize neo-liberal culture. Contemporary art’s penchant for installation, interaction, identity, hybridity, and globality will be placed alongside corporate culture’s instrumental moralities (cooperation, innovation, diversification etc…)
