Pop Politics: Activisms at 33 Revolutions

CA2M

From November 30th, 2012, to April 21st, 2013

In the Pop Politics: Activism at 33 Revolutions exhibition I culled the work of 30 artists to look at the specific political forms produced in pop music through contemporary art practices. The last century has given rise to the importance of pop music in knowledge production (I include here punk, disco, hip hop, etc.) causing a change in the social and cultural establishment. The exhibition approaches this history as a guide to how today’s pop music may come to influence current power structures in the future, and provokes viewers to question how current art events partake in creating or subverting these power structures
