Future Tense / Past Tensions

A Proposal for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice

MAP3, an international collaboration among three artists, proposes Future Tense/Past Tensions, a multimedia installation designed specifically for the roof terrace of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Using new technologies, MAP3 will create an interactive site
work incorporating music, architecture, and painting.

The main idea of Future Tense/Past Tensions is the bond between time and place. Mixing the thematic junctures of present/future tenses and past/future tensions, the installation will interpret these temporal dimensions in space, sound, and color in a way that fuses the three artists' different memories and experiences. Each will draw from the aspects of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection that are especially significant to them. They will map their relationships to the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in their respective disciplines, coming together to articulate ideas about time and space in relation to each other.
