The 10th
In 2027, TAM – Torrance Art Museum Los Angeles and The New Museum of Networked Art plan their 10th collaboration since 2014, celebrating the new video art project
LovPOP – Love -Power-Peace – the future is now! – curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne
Los Angeles // March 27 – May 8, 2027
Cologne // May 9 – July 31, 2027
It is planned to present complementarily a sound art version as an interactive installation online simultaneously @ The New Museum of Networked Art during this transcontinental collaboration.
LOVE – POWER – PEACE – The future is now!
LOVE – POWER – PEACE – was the key slogan of the younger generation in the 1960s. At that time, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, with its confrontation of opposing ideological blocs, inequality on all levels, and civil rights movements, led to a desire for peace, equality, and fraternity, and especially to a willingness to bring about change in society, both internally and externally, through an overflowing spiritual and physical energy. This was also reflected in the art and musical movements of the time.
How similar the images are today! Today, war in Ukraine, the confrontation between democratic and politically authoritarian blocs, growing inequality between rich and poor, and unstoppable climate change, coupled with the danger of losing all the achievements of the past decades, have led to a desire for peace, equality, sustainability as living perspectives for future generations. But where is the necessary spiritual and physical energy?
Artists working with sound are invited to transform their ideas of spiritual and physical energy and power as a concept for a sustainable future into exciting sound compositions, and submit them before the deadline, 1 October 2026.
