Ilya & Emilia Kabakov: Not Everyone Will Be Taken Into The Future

This installation is dedicated to the problem that is very topical for the situation in the contemporary art world today: What will happen to artists and their works in the very near, and not so near future? How will they be accepted and understood by the new viewer of the future, the new art critic, the new collector, the new curator?

In our mind, this problem today is masked by the dominant reality, the demand to be „contemporary“, no matter what! The demand „to exist today“, overwhelms the question: What will happen to these works tomorrow?

This is a personal problem for every artist What is more important, to have his works understood and accepted today, or to wish for them to live into „tomorrow“, and what is the difference?

Ilya Kabakov / 2001
