The New Abnormal: Information warfare & our volatile political present in Don Edler’s Two Minutes to Midnight solo exhibition

, 11 November 2019

Don Edler‘s Two Minutes to Midnight solo exhibition was on at Los Angeles’ Hunter Shaw Fine Art, running September 8 to October 27.

Taking its title from the unnerving current setting of the Doomsday Clock, Two Minutes to Midnight addresses propaganda and information warfare in our volatile political present through video, sculpture and installation. From post-truth misinformation to climate change, Edler responds to our precarious closeness to societal catastrophe, a situation that is referred to by Doomsday Clock founders as a “new abnormal”. As stated in the exhibition press release:

“Edler applies an aesthetic sensibility which encapsulates the maddening polarity of “the new abnormal”, presenting an environment that is at once chaotic and austere, laughably absurd and deadly serious.”**
