The Way Things Go

Frutta (vecchia sede), Roma

Frutta will present a sequential exhibition, involving four curators: Adam Carr, Ilaria Gianni, Frances Loeffler and Valentinas Klimasauskas.

Starting from a fixed point, a domino effect will be created. Each subsequent show, the different curators, will progress from the mend point of the previous exhibition. Each will pursue their own agendas, deliver to the viewer a new perspective and idea through the exhibition, but will continually leave traces of the previous exhibitions.

We Will Disappear You

Curated by: Adam Carr
With: * Nina Beier * Jeppe Hein * Timmy Foxon * Jacopo Miliani * Jonathan Monk * Gabriele De Santis* Jesse Wine

For as long as the history of art has demonstrated, works of art have commonly been conceived and produced as a fixed form, as a stationary object, or at least something which is to remain in the condition in which it is exhibited.

We Will Disappear You questions the condition and exhibition of artworks through exhibiting works, by a number of artists, which put to test the art object and its time during its presentation. All of the artworks brought together for the exhibition will transform and eventually disappear or expire before the closing date. While some will alter at a relatively stately pace throughout the duration of the exhibition, others will transfigure quickly before the audience.

Here, the focus remains resolutely on works of art that take the form of objects, rather than contributing to numerous existing investigations on the changing nature of art, which have mainly exhibited or discussed performance arts.

While We Will Disappear You responds to the history of art and the co-ordinates and rules that exhibitions of artworks follow, it largely addresses the circumscribed framework in which it is taking place. The exhibition is part of a sequence of four exhibitions by the gallery, each curated by a different curator, which are purported to overlap and correspond to one another. The artworks in this exhibition however will be removing themselves, from both the exhibition and the sequence itself.
