 The exhibition comprises fourteen videos that reflect different decades of our changing society, tracing a journey through the turn of the century

Liquid Time is an exhibition solely dedicated to videos from the collections of Maria & Armando Cabral, Lisbon, and Cal Cego. Colección de arte contemporáneo, Barcelona. It presents works by fourteen international artists that reflect upon and question this “liquid time,” an expression coined by the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2016), who died recently. Bauman described the shift from a “solid” to a “liquid” modernity, in which everything is in continuous movement, and where social customs and conventions become temporary, fleeting, and obsolete. A highly changing and digitized contemporary world, where nothing remains and everything is constantly being transformed by an incessant flow of information. A panorama dominated by globalization, by temporality, where inequality has replaced our current welfare society.

The exhibition brings together fourteen videos, representing different decades of our changing society, tracing a journey through the recent history of the turn of the century, we have experienced in our lives. The 1980's Fischli & Weiss and Bruce Nauman. The 1990's Doug Aitken and Muntadas. The 2000's Cory Arcángel, Bestué & Vives, Nuno Cera, Alicia Framis, Douglas Gordon, Rui Toscano and Ignacio Uriarte. The 2010's Joao Onofre and André Romao.
