Botella, Jean-Alain Corre, Athene Galiciadis, Dorian Gaudin, Ken
Kagami, Tobias Madison and Emanuel Rossetti, Mia Marfurt, Anita
Molinero, Shana Moulton, Marina Pinsky,Pablo Réol, Maxime Rossi.

Curators: Julien Fronsacq (Curator, Palais de Tokyo) and Scipio
Schneider (ACRUSH)

The exhibition, by its curator, Julien Fronsacq:

“The exhibition transforms an old maintenance plant into a bedroom
where day and night, work and dreams trade with each other. The idle
machines become dioramas. The exhibition sets out to be a real
platform where the public and private spheres come together; personal
desires share the stage with public representation, marketing and
magical poetry, astronomy and archaeology.

Just as the former railway maintenance plant has now become a place of
artistic production, the exhibition goes beyond the fixed categories
that usually distinguish industry, craft and art, to offer an
indeterminate critical consideration of the artwork. The machines
surrounding it are still predominant, preventing a perception of total
detachment from the techniques that surround it.

Amid the controversy over the question of technique, ‘Your Memories
are our Future’, turns to the writer Alain Damasio from whom the
exhibition takes its title. Beyond the split between the championing
of the machine and reactionary pessimism, the social science fiction
author reminds us how even the imagination is unable to overcome a
‘mechanical‘ development during this present day era, based on the
‘world machine’.”
