The 5th Ural industrial Biennial opens on September 12 and will be on view through December 1, 2019. Entitled For a Multitude of Futures, the Main Project, curated by Xiaoyu Weng (Guggenheim Museum, New York), responds to this biennial’s theme of Immortality by investigating the evermore complex relationship between humanity and technology. It proposes a radical re-imagination of life and death, and of our materialist pursuit of immortality, in order to open up possibilities for a multitude of futures.
