About this exposition

Electronic Textures reads, revisited and curated concepts of art, Cold War politics, and history through an encounter with pan-African magazines published from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s. All the detours that emerge with every new reading, add to a biography of research, which is changing, depending on who is reading — and which question the reader has in mind. These are the grounds for a collaborative research practice, which doesn't seek to construct one narrative alone, and which preserves the need and the framework for many, sometimes contradictory storylines. But then also suggests a form—a collage, puzzle, map, web—that allows to bring forward these possibilities and connections to the surface, to exhibit them, setting the footnotes loose and not smothering them with interpretation. A form unfinished by nature.
