Anticipating Ruin, Mining the Past

Looking forward… or is it all over?  If the current state of curated group shows is any indications, there may not be a way new way or a different way to find some meaning in the art being made now without looking backward.  Historical amnesia. All genres have been coopted and cyncisim is a style rather than an attitude or political approach to finding a place for art in our daily lives.  Revising the past seems to be the only way forward. Everything is appropriated, everything copied, has someting been overlooked?  How about an exhibit that tries to find artists that worked out of the headlights, that tried toadvance  art in a samll way.  The small steps leading others to the big leaps.
