Currents #10: Choose Your Own Story

When it seems impossible to build an environment that can nurture our basic needs and social communities, we tend to do the opposite: adapt the layers with which we continuously construct our identities. The at times hyperreal expectations of society can catch up with us and turn any lived experience into a staged reality. Somewhere between fiction and reality, individual and community, public and private, the artists from this exhibition flip the script and set the stage for their own narratives. From their different viewpoints, they each show us how they experience the world.

We often learn that there is always only one right answer for each situation. But there is more than one answer to anything. Different routes offer different outcomes within the same story. You are invited to simply wander around, or to choose the next step to take through the storylines presented. Discover a new generation of artists by choosing your own path to navigate this plotted field in Marres.
