Renan Laru-an - The First Exhibitions

In recent years, the standard of exhibition-making in contemporary visual art as well as in creative platforms has “streamed” subjectivities and contexts in an unprecedented speed that turns art into data, information, and facts. Such well-intentioned commitments to communication and accessibility have seemingly prioritised content production and discourse management through works of art. With these conditions, how does the artistic resist the agency of “standard” exhibitions, and how does the curatorial facilitate the normalisation of new content regimes with or without art? Renan will return to the memories of his “first” exhibitions in order to engage with these questions. He will immerse himself in the fragility of his recollection, the deception of nostalgia, and the vigour of daydreaming to disarrange his imagination of art, artists, curator, curating, and exhibitions.
