Read Show Press Release

Labels? Labels! TBD originated as a challenge to artists, tasking them with crafting exhibition labels for conceptualized yet unfinished artworks. The resulting exhibition unfolds in two distinct dimensions. It encourages artists to reimagine the conventional role of exhibition labels, pushing them to experiment with form, materials, and narrative. This results in expressive pieces that boldly assert their autonomy and challenge traditional notions of what constitutes an artwork.

Simultaneously, the show challenges the stereotypical sequence of creative practices, extending into a diverse remix of the artistic process. It invites artists to rethink traditional production sequences, shedding light on the various stages in bringing conceptualized artworks to fruition. This fosters a deeper understanding of creative journeys and the complexities inherent in artistic creation and interpretation.
