Retro Futurism

Retro Futurism
December 2010 (Exhibition)
October 10, 2010 (entry deadline)

About the Exhibition:
Retro Futurism is an exhibition that looks at the present and the future through the lens of the past.
What did the past get right about the future? What do you wish it had?
What are you glad it didn’t? What are your hopes for tomorrow?
What ideas today will be quaint “rocket cars” of tomorrow?

About The Theme:
We are not just looking for cool images (although those can work) but ideas that resonated then, still do, and will hopefully into the future. Concept driven work is fully emphasized.

Eligibility:
Open to all artists worldwide, except students enrolled in an undergraduate program.
