Raqs Media Collective : Corrections to the First Draft of History

19 Sep-31 Oct 2014

Overview

In the time when all the news that was fit to print got printed, Raqs decided to take things in hand. History, they decided, would no longer be destiny. Corrections were clearly necessary. The first draft of history would yield the next draft of whimsy. Everything and its shadow was re-run, banks were broken, trees were asked the time, and clocks followed strange instructions. The Raqs Media Collective's curiosity about what time does to the world and to our conscience lies behind the works and images that constitute Corrections to the First Draft of History. Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new video, sculpture and wall-based work by Raqs Media Collective. This will be the artists' third solo show at the gallery.
