Universal / Remote is an exhibition that examines various things and phenomena which have entered the spotlight, or come to attention for the first time, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The exhibition is intended to reframe themes often explored in contemporary art thus far, such as global capitalism and digital society, from the two perspectives of worldwide scale (as expressed by the word “universal” as well as the prefix “pan-,” which appears in many words including “pandemic”) and non-face-to-face isolation (as in “remote” work, school and so forth).
Most of the works to be exhibited were produced before 2020 but in conveying comical aspects of the excesses of surveillance and high-tech networks, as well as the profound isolation of human beings, these works seem to grapple head-on with the current era and with the post-COVID world of the future.
