HEXEN 2039 charts Brodsky’s para scientific research towards
the development of new mind control technologies for the
British Military through a series of drawings and diagrams, a
video, website and site-specific interventions. This complex
body of work uncovers links between conspiracy theories,
occult groups, Chernobyl, witchcraft, the US film industry,
British Intelligence agencies, Soviet brainwashing, behaviour
control experiments of the US Army and recent practices of its
Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (PSYOP) and
new research in contemporary neuroscience.
“HEXEN 2039 offers us an inverted, riotous version of a
sociopolitical history that stands in kaleidoscopic opposition
to the homogenised, narrow flatland of the capitalist march
forward. Treister’s constructions belie a deeper mission: to
explore how we make sense of history and the politics of war.”
(Jane D. Marsching)
In 1995 artist Suzanne Treister created the fictional alter
ego Rosalind Brodsky, a delusional time traveller who believes
herself to be working at the Institute of Militronics and
Advanced Time Interventionality (IMATI) in the twenty-first
century. Through Brodsky, Treister explores issues of history,
global politics, religion, popular culture, sexuality,
science, technology, the military and theories of the future.
The Rosalind Brodsky project has been described by Art in
America as “One of the most sustained fantasy trips of
contemporary art”.
Suzanne Treister studied in London at St Martin’s and Chelsea
Schools of Art and currently lives and works in London and
Berlin. Treister has shown internationally since 1981. Recent
exhibitions include: ‘Operation Swanlake’ at Annely Juda Fine
Art, London; Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin; Gallery Skuc,
Ljubljana; Magazin4, Vorarlberger Kunstverein, Bregenz; ‘(The
World May Be) Fantastic’, 2002 Biennale of Sydney; ‘Don't Call
it Performance’, Centro de Arte Reina Sofía Madrid and El
Museo del Barrio, New York, USA.
