This pubblication was produced on the occasion of the exhibition Cave Myths(endless speluking) at Quetzal Art Center, from 30 03 2019- 30 03 2020. Cave Myths (Endless Spelunking) associatively traces the genealogy of the cave as a generative space for ideas in contemporary art. It brings together an intergenerational selection of works by artists who engage with the cave and notions around the subterranean, and its seemingly endless potential for artistic exploration. We return to the cave all the time, to try and unravel its eternal secrets; in our contemporary post-truth reality, in which ideological bankruptcy and technological hubris have outlined a horizon of global collapse, the urgency of a return to the origins of civilization feels more poignant than ever.
