  Let's visit the exhibit

This exhibition was carried out in collaboration with:

  



29 NOVEMBER 2002-30 MARCH 2003

Unknown Quantity will attempt to explore one of the most important issues raised in Paul Virilio's most recent writings: the increasing development of accidents as an indirect consequence of man's inventions. This exhibition, however, does by no means intend to provide a complete overview of the history of accidents, nor does it explore the many ways in which the accident manifests itself in art. Instead, through a selection of documents and the work of contemporary artists, it aims to open up a discussion on the accident and its impact on our world.

"Accumulation puts an end to the impression of chance"
