Space Was the Place brings together a collection of works that address disdain for the present, yearning for knowledge, attempts to attain perfectability in the establishment of utopian Otherness, and the subsequent potential for disconnection between intent and end results within the realm of human action. Encapsulating a wide field of subject and approach, the artists involved are united in their work as historians of sorts—addressing politics and poetics emerging from the particularities of an era’s epistemes—neither offering empty annals nor simple nostalgia, but rather enacting isolated investigations into histories that evidence possibility and desire.
