Ho Rui An. The Ends of a Long Boom

"I wanted to bring the essay to the ground - in a way to counter the loftiness of the visions represented in it." Ho Rui An on "The Long Boom"

"The Long Boom" is a reproduction of a radical optimistic Wired article by American futurists Peter Schwartz and Peter Leyden, that projects sustained economic growth and increased global integration from the 1980s through to 2020.

Artist Ho Rui An presents two of is artworks, on show in his solo exhibition "The Ends of a Long Boom" at Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz until Sunday, October 10.

"The Ends of a Long Boom" is the first solo exhibition of the Singapore-based artist in Europe. It comprises video installations from the artist’s most recent bodies of works, alongside new artworks created for this exhibition.In "The Ends of a Long Boom", Ho further investigates the complex ramifications of late-capitalist ideology in the media and in cultural production. He especially traces the racialized and complex relations between the “East” and the “West”, as well as among East Asian nation-states, while emphasizing the persistence of imperialist legacies.
