A combined exhibition between Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg and Lumiar Cité, Lisbon
Iandovka and Tsyrlina have come together with maverick American artists, Leslie Thornton and Thomas Zummer, for their first institutional show once in a hundred years.
At Friart, the installation is conceived as a cinematic wasteland in the wake of artificial intelligence. With an instability in the guise of story-telling, it conjures a reimagined ‘story-space’ in which narrative form breaks into ephemeral song, a eulogy for the living present.
