MILAN, ITALY.- tank.tv is pleased to announce that 'I Am Future Melancholic' will be travelling to go gallery, Milan this May. This new exhibition will be another chance to see tank.tv's January show and the programme from the screening at Tate Modern.

This show presents moving images by artists whose practice reflects a vision of tomorrow. The structures and systems of reality are examined to reveal glimpses into what we call 'the future'. This ineffable and intangible concept, that constantly haunts the present, here provokes a wealth of musings and imaginings.

In 'Bruxelles 4023', Mathieu Delvaux & Xavier van Huffel perform street interviews to ask the public what they think Brussels might be like in 4023. The answers, as varied as the people themselves, reveal the concept of the future as a screen for hopes, fears and fantasy. Astarting point into an exploration of tomorrow...

Challenging, doubt-inducing and transformative aspects of 'the future' can be perceived in Philippe Meste's detonative video 'LHRB'. Rachel Reupke's 'Infrastructure' is born of a fascination with movie special effects and narrative devices. And Carsten Höller's 'One Minute of Doubt' and 'Punktefilm' induct a representation of our "timeless everyday", and magically echo the playful nature of his present turbine hall installation. Matthieu Laurette's impressive cocktail of celebrity look-alikes brings us into confusion at a blurred vision of the limits between performance and observation. Mai Yamashita and Naoto Kobayashi's star, in 'When I wish Upon a Star' gives us time we need to wish upon...

Artists include: Erwin Wurm, Haris Epaminonda, Xavier Veilhan, Carsten Höller, Philippe Meste, Susanne Bürner, Laurent Montaron, Chris Cornish, Mathieu Delvaux & Xavier Van Huffel, Bernard Gigounon, Matthieu Laurette, Rachel Reupke, John Latham, Vito Acconci and Mai Yamashita & Naoto Kobayashi.

"I am Future Melancholic" was screened at Tate Modern, 20 January 2007, and online on www.tank.tv from 15 January to 28 February 2007. Curated by Anne-Sophie Dinant and Laure Prouvost for tank.tv and go gallery, Milan. The show will be exhibited alongside an exclusive pre-launch of the forthcoming tank.tv DVD: "Fresh Moves: New Moving Images from the UK".
