Tarot Reading at The ICA
Suzanne Treister brings forth her investigations of traumatic histories of the 20th century in HEXEN 2.0, manifested as a series of drawings, deck of Tarot cards, a ?lm and a book. The exhibition surfaces unverbalised parallels between modern technologies and their occult double, explored through diagrams of topological displacements and transformation of knowledge. In relation to the Macy Conferences held between 1946 and 1953, Treister retrospectively stirs the ideas of cybernetics with sensibilities of contemporary society into a kind of visual discussion. On April 8th, Mark Pilkington will activate the Tarot Deck by Treister, conducting a group Tarot Reading to reconfigure history, and the possible futures of humankind in terms of technology and society.
The ICA The Mall London SW1Y 5AH from 5:00 – 7:00pm
