Ernst Bloch referred to the unfinished character of the human condition as 'not-yet' (noch nicht). He accorded the arts so significant a place because it is able to extend, "in an anticipating way, existing material into the future possibilities of being different and better". Art must imagine an 'other' to the 'now'. The imaginative act is a call to action. Not-yet is a state of anticipation.

Project
Not Yet Night is an ongoing series of one-night exhibitions presented by Babak Ghazi. It is an attempt at self-institution and an invitation to artists who do not fall into a straightforward idea of utopianism, although utopianism is at the heart of it. Utopianism that plays out its internal contradictions. That lives in the imagination and its materialisations.
