Burn The Diaries, Read Them Out Loud is an exhibition conceived as a dynamic, ongoing process, investigating the multifaceted role of text within contemporary artistic practices. It delves into the methods of annotating, editing, and writing, positing text not merely as a preliminary note but as a foundational 'skeleton' for artmaking. The exhibition space itself becomes a canvas, with initial artworks conversing with a series of performative interventions, readings, and discussions that will take place over four months. This format allows for a continuous evolution, where artists are invited to use the exhibition as a site for production and experimentation, creating an interconnected web of notes, quotations, and rehearsals. A setting designed by artist Ian Waelder, in collaboration with the artists, curator, and institution, serves as a functional and interactive environment. This structure not only facilitates engagement but also acts as a referential and meeting point, literally punctuating the exhibition space. The participating artists, including Anahita Asadifar, Sanna Helena Berger, Lara Dâmaso, Joshua Leon, Ville Laurinkoski, Prosopopoeia, Rietlanden Women’s Office, Lisa Robertson, Shanzhai Lyric, Miriam Stoney, Ian Waelder, and Eleanor Ivory Weber, all employ text in diverse ways within their practices. The exhibition aims to expand the understanding of text's status in art, showcasing its potential as a primary medium and conceptual framework.
