The exhibition is organized in cooperation of Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo.
Curators of the exhibition:Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Daniel Birnbaum a Gunnar B. Kvaran

Uncertain States offers an expanded look at contemporary young American art. The exhibition is the result of an extensive, two-year research project of the curators. Their selections of the 42 artists reflect an astute, yet contentious, assessment of the current state of American art and culture.

The exhibition is not entirely American—influences come from everywhere... In a period where the official political culture of the United States is viewed with great scepticism on the other side of the Atlantic, it seems important to remind ourselves of this complexity. The Uncertain States of America are not only uncertain, they are many.
Daniel Birnbaum, Gunnar Kvaran and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
