89plus | Call for creative practitioners born in and after 1989
89plus is calling for artists, curators, writers, and other creative practitioners to be a part of a long term, international, multi-platform research project, co-founded by Simon Castets and Hans Ulrich Obrist. There is only one rule: you must be 89plus—born in or after 1989.
The year 1989 was marked by several paradigm-shifting events, including the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the introduction of the World Wide Web and the orbit of the first Global Positioning System satellite. Positing a relationship between these world-changing events and creative production at large, 89plus introduces the work of some of this generation’s most inspiring young protagonists. Through various projects and events, 89plus brings together individuals from a generation whose voices are only starting to be heard.
Upcoming events include the 89plus Marathon at London’s Serpentine Gallery on October 18 and 19 during this year’s Frieze Art Fair, and the 89plus Conference at Venice’s Palazzo Grassi on September 5.
