The Future Gallery is an exhibition platform for fresh artistic positions ranging from works on paper to websites. The idea: to grow a gallery out of a temporary space with the aim of relocating it to a future gallery space. Out of immediacy the space was initiated in the living room of its founders Anne Betting and Michael Ruiz. Since its inception in February 2008, the space has hosted an ambitious program of exhibitions and events showcasing an exciting list of international artists. Through its unorthodox platform and exhibition program The Future Gallery seeks to pose questions about the future of art presentation and dissemination.

The Future Gallery presents Post Internet Survival Guide, featuring works by Lorenzo Bernet & Yannic Joray, Sam Hammocks, Martin Kohout, Oliver Laric, Gene McHugh, Christian Oldham, Aude Pariset, Tabor Robak, Timur Si-Qin, Micah Shippa, Kate Steciew and Damon Zucconi. The works range from sculpture to interactive installation. This exhibition coincides with the release of Katja Novitskova’s book Post Internet Survival Guide 2010.
 

Post Internet Survival Guide is a survival kit to the ocean of signs that is Internet and the reality beyond. Focusing on art created and distributed online during the year 2010 – in the times of Photoshop CS5, Facebook, Tumblr and iPad – it suggests the abilities and moreover the tools necessary to navigate and understand the web – a skill crucial to our survival today. Internet being the primary platform of dissemination, it mediates and facilitates the exchange of information, symbolic and real relations, and thus reflects the most current value and existence of different formats, shaping the dynamics of our human existence and our horizons.
