"A kind of forever present" is a public talk in the form of a theatrical performance that explores what ever happened to postmodernism. It culls and combines citations from texts by theorists Frederic Jameson, Jean Baudrillard, Jürgen Habermas, Clement Greenberg and others to hold a fictitious conversation about the postmodern impulse.
The performance-conversation considers the decline and transformation of postmodernism into a hybrid, constant stream of social media, information capital and cultural production in the current moment.
In this era of rapid circulation of images and ideas, where everything is always accessible, our relationship to material culture, real-time experiences and the built, spatial enviroment has changed.
