La galería Pioneer Works (Brooklyn, New York), presenta ‘The Present Is the Form of All Life: The Time Capsules of Ant Farm and LST’. La exposición examina la naturaleza mutable de la percepción del tiempo, la aceleración de la obsolescencia de los medios de comunicación, y un cambio cultural hacia la preservación y la privacidad. La muestra concluyó el pasado 23 de octubre. La exposición se abre con una cronología de los materiales que representan el proceso creativo de Ant Farm (1968-1978) y LST (2007-actualidad), nunca antes vistos, dibujos arquitectónicos, fotografías, documentales… Cada obra fue un fracaso rotundo, lo que subraya el humor, la crítica contracultural y el espíritu LST.
