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. More info on:

Rib is a space for art, where the interplay between different forms and formats informs its layered and extradisciplinary programme. Founded by Maziar Afrassiabi in 2015, Rib is housed in a former butcher shop in Rotterdam-Charlois.
