Description

The year 1967 marked the beginning of our present: Modernism was abandoned, and from its ruins a bizarre world was born. This exhibition chronicles the dawn of the information society, the unleashing of the financial markets, and the great age of subcultures that defined the late 20th century. Showcasing spectacular examples of design, architecture, cinema, pop, philosophy, art, and literature, the exhibition explores the conflict between style and recognition in a globalised world. The Bundeskunsthalle, one of the largest museums in Europe, was opened in 1992, just as the Cold War came to an end. Thirty years later, it is clear that history did not come to an end, and Postmodernism remains a topic of debate. The exhibition brings together key aspects of postmodern culture, from the rise of new media to the emergence of subcultures like disco, punk, and techno-pop. With its diverse range of examples, this book provides a unique insight into the complexities of our present.
