In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction (1986), Ursula K. Le Guin proposes a method of storytelling founded on gathering, collectivity, and non-linearity. This “bag of stars”, as the author calls it, reveals science fiction as “less a mythological genre than a realistic one”, rooted not in technology as a weapon of progress, but in its status as a cultural receptacle. ‘Future Relics’, then, is an exhibition which takes objects of the imagination as the artefacts of our future: relics meaning less the remnants of individual achievement, and instead, those of creation and materiality within an age defined by its digital immateriality. These works, which are all engaged with form as the container of meaning, compose a cultural carrier bag of objects whose temporalities stretch across past, present, and future.
