For his first US museum exhibition, Hong Kong-based sound artist
Samson Young looks to the idealism presented at the 1933 World's
Fair in Chicago to explore varying concepts of social progress and
utopia through a trilogy of animated music videos. The catalog
addresses questions of how people adapt to societal changes that
they have little control over. For Young, "progress" as it was
defined in the 1933 fair's subtitle "A Century of Progress"
represents a specific variant of aspirational thinking. From cars
to shopping malls and houses designed for the future to political
change, progressive thinking has had contrasting consequences as it
made its impact felt across the globe in the decades that followed.
The accompanying catalog acts both as an introduction to Young's
work and a lavishly illustrated document of the exhibition. It
features an essay by curator Orianna Cacchione contextualizing
Young's work, an essay by G. Douglas Barrett exploring the tension
between modern visions of utopia and the musical version of the
contemporary, and an interview between Seth Kim Cohen and Young
about the form of the music video and its variations in the
exhibitions. Additionally, the catalog also contains full-color
video stills of the works, original drawings, and archival
materials included in the exhibition.
