The Last Terminal: Reflections on the Coming Apocalypse
Thinking about the future of Rib while developing a new chapter in its history, we thought about Rib’s end too, its finality. We cannot hide the fact that as we go on with our business, feelings of futility loom, in a world whose ending and ends have almost fully overlapped. We thought about the relation between this double meaning of the word end: the possibility of ending and the question of to what purpose one must endure? Can Rib as an ‘institution’ be a means without end; a reflexive and self-conscious process; an apocalyptic space: a space of revelation? Far from a thematic show, The Last Terminal, is an adventure of reflexivity, rethinking the social function of an exhibition, not only what we see but also how we see it.

Rib is een ruimte voor kunst, waar het samenspel tussen verschillende vormen en formaten het gelaagde en extradisciplinaire programma informeert. Rib is in 2015 opgericht door Maziar Afrassiabi en is gevestigd in een voormalige slagerij in Rotterdam-Charlois.
