As curators of the exhibition, we placed a strong emphasis on the idea of participation as an integral aspect of the audience's experience. In order to highlight the subjective nature of art critique and the role that individual perspectives play in shaping our interpretations of works of art, we chose to focus on Alexander Brener's famous dollar sign piece. Although we, as curators, had differing perspectives on certain artists' works, we recognized that the audience's feedback was equally as valuable in shaping the overall narrative of the exhibition.

Our goal was to explore the concept of filters in art critique, emphasizing that there are no absolute truths when it comes to interpreting works of art. Instead, there are only filters that influence how we view and understand the artwork in front of us. By using Brener's piece as a platform for audience comments, we hoped to provide visitors with an opportunity to reflect on their own personal filters and how they might impact their interpretations of art.

The publication: box

The notion of our publication sticks with our core values. The package of our projects would not only be a model of our pavilion, but also a readable one with the whole content of the exhibition.

The publication: newspaper
"Art or not Art"

The publication: zine

We select a one-page zine as our form to present the interview part of our project.
Neither the artwork nor the critique can be presented integrally by a single comment piece.Readers need to watch and read all the clips and comments to see the full picture.
