Doing Superfutures: Visions for the future

For a dose of arresting art, hop along to Selfridges, where you’ll find an exhibition of 13 experiential works by leading contemporary artists, brands and thinkers that explore and imagine tomorrow’s world. Curated in collaboration with Berlin’s Reference Festival and installed across the London store, Superfutures prompts visitors to consider how we might live, what we might look like and how we will behave.

‘The Superfutures exhibition will present past and future universes, full of mutation and cohabitation, blurring boundaries between the organic and crafted, between human and machine, and existing outlooks and normative gestures into reshaping our future,’ says Mumi Haiati, Founder of Reference Studios and Reference Festival.

As you meander around the store, you’ll encounter an installation of sculptures by Estonian artist Katja Novitskova, examining the relationship between technology, biology and ecology; and a specially commissioned display of five inflatable sculptures by Monira Al Qadiri, which is paired with a selection of oil-drill shaped Murano glass sculptures.

This is the future of retail, so don’t miss out.
