9112011: A DECCENALIA
CURATED BY PETER THOMAS
ANDY HUTSON – MIA SALSJO – LINDA TEGG – PETER THOMAS
A Decennalia was an ancient Roman festival that was celebrated each decade to mark another ten years under the Roman Empire. It is ten years since September 11, 2001, and the images and memories of that day’s events continue to inform border protection, the movement of humans, war, international policy, aid, video games and disaster films. Is this the first decennalia of the Empire of 9/11?
9112011 : A Decennalia presents four artists’ responses to the events of September 11, 2001, and the ten years since those events first dominated television screens around the world. The exhibition questions the remembrance of that event over others, its place in history and its ongoing influence in our lives in four very different ways.
