黑料不打烊

The title, Splinters of Angst Derelict, captures the fragmented, residual nature of artistic labor and the sense of abandonment in cultural production. The word 鈥渟plinter鈥濃�攁n object that once belonged to a greater whole鈥攂ecomes a metaphor for protest, discomfort, and resistance. It represents 鈥渟omething that sticks into someone鈥檚 finger as an agent that can generate pressure or pain right into a body.鈥� The term 鈥渁ngst鈥� draws from Walter Benjamin鈥檚 poignant reflection during his time in Russia after the Soviet Revolution: 鈥淎ll the dreams have gone grey,鈥� encapsulating the pervasive anxieties of our era. 鈥淒erelict鈥� alludes to residual ephemera like a lingering wet poster on a sidewalk, hoping for someone to pick it up. Together, the title underscores a collective unease and a refusal to conform to reductive narratives.

The exhibition challenges the dominant frameworks of contemporary figurative discourses without excluding perspectives, instead proposing alternative modes of cultural production. By resisting hyper-representation鈥攖he overt depiction of bodies鈥攖he participating artists push forward innovative practices. Using drawing as a conceptual scaffolding for ideas, the works are unframed and all displayed on cardboard and wooden hanging structures, evoking a sense of immediacy and impermanence while referencing Lina Bo Bardi鈥檚 iconic Easels of Glass. By discarding walls and traditional frames, the exhibition disrupts the chronological constraints of conventional exhibition design, allowing the works to exist dynamically and non-linearly.

The concept of a drawing is central to the exhibition, celebrated not merely as a medium but as an architecture for thought鈥攁 fluid, residual, and mobile framework for revolutionary ideas. The works, which move across the mediums of print, photography, video, and works on paper, offer up radical potential and a space where spontaneity and intent converge. From fleeting marks to intricate compositions, the exhibition is a collection of anxious yet vital documents of artistic exploration and change.

Splinters of Angst Derelict assembles works from studios, archives, and personal collections, united in their refusal to conform to market demands and the homogenization driven by social media. Themes range from personal struggles to broader critiques of cultural production, fostering a space where unfamiliar aesthetics and ideas provoke both disorientation and discovery. The exhibition鈥檚 ambitious, nonhierarchical approach invites viewers into a polyphonic dialogue, resisting reductive interpretations of art and culture.

By rejecting the sameness of contemporary cultural production, Splinters of Angst Derelict seeks to rediscover colors and textures lost in the homogenization of modern art. This exhibition offers an urgent and hopeful proposition: a return to the 鈥渄rawing board鈥� of artistic practice, where creativity flourishes in its raw, untamed, and revolutionary form.
