“The grotto is the bunker and the bunker is the grotto.”
–Paul Virilio, Crepuscular Dawn, 2002
Simon Lee Gallery is pleased to present The Leftovers, a group exhibition organized by DM Office on view through June 10.
They say planning is the best precaution and true to form the 1% are shoring up their goods with designer doomsday dugouts. It’s true—CNN reported it and Vivos xPoint, a real estate company specializing in such wares, admits that demand is on the rise. Of course, the Spartan concrete walls and canned goods of yore have been replaced by LED-powered panoramic views, underground pools and built-in custom finishes. Upon request, however, certain utilitarian details can be retained or added for dramatic effect.
Many of the most sought-after specimens are housed in Soviet era bunkers and silos, and it is said that these connect to complex subterranean passages that can sprawl into entire communities. These will be carefully curated for a balanced cultural ecosystem that includes trams, coffee shops, restaurants and even movie theaters. Examples are already thriving above ground with once-secret fallout shelters that have been converted into private homes, luxury condos, art gallery complexes and more.
It is hard to imagine living in this stasis—but one supposes that anxious anticipation is a small price to pay for airtight comfort. Then again, despite these upgrades, the real pickle remains what else to bring along? Among the cushions and the rations, the placeholders and relics, what surplus objects will be tethered and preserved in these polished capsules? Will their value outlive their function? And how will they emerge and take in the view of a landscape rewritten in ways both strange and unforetold?
