Photo tour of the exhibition here.
The exhibition will reflect on the heritage industry and the museumification of history, as well as the creation, transmission and fidelity of cultural worth. The artists share an aesthetic and pragmatic concern with the principle of the personal archive or the pre-museal wunderkammer – the categorization and veracity of objects, images and words is always provisional. + info

The Garden of Forking Paths brings together the work of five artist-duos to consider duality, simultaneity, saturation and proliferation.
The exhibition pursues, on the one hand, the implications of two
individuals working together as a single author-function and, on the
other, operates alongside artwork concerned with the reproducibility of images. + info...
