Inspired by a novel from the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, the exhibition brings together ten artistic positions. Five objects. And five ideas that exist only in the imagination.
The exhibition is composed of two parts:
I. Five artists contribute a „work“ that only exists in the imagination. Each idea is enclosed in two envelopes. One of the two envelopes is framed and presented in the exhibition space. The other one is given to a randomly selected person as a present.
II. Five artists contribute an „object“ from (almost) unworked material.
Five objects and five ideas. Hidden and free. The future takes time.
