Mudam Luxembourg Foregrounds (the Impossibility of) a Post-Capital Art

“Post-Capital: Art and the Economics of the Digital Age” opens at Mudam Luxembourg. Exploring the paradox that capitalism is ”both dependent upon and threatened by technological progress,” the show includes polemical works by Simon Denny, Oliver Laric, Martine Syms, and others. Strongly signalling the capital-collides-with-lifeworld aesthetic is Cao Fei’s Asia One (2018, image), a film about a burgeoning romance between two young workers in a gigantic logistics warehouse, set against a backdrop of automation.
