The work extends a portion of the individual exhibition space beyond the physical limits of the original site, reconstituting it through a modular system of hundreds of transparent acrylic cubes—each embedded with an independent locking mechanism. These cubes collectively act as a spatial proxy, replicating the original volume while existing externally to it.
Audience members engage in the co-curation of the exhibition through actions such as appropriation, intervention, and occupation. As each cube is altered—whether conceptually or materially—the state of the original interior exhibition space is rendered unstable, subject to continuous fluctuations both physical and conceptual. The project thus establishes a reciprocal dynamic between the internal and external, between absence and occupation, between structure and variability.
Notably, the graduation exhibition had no centralised curatorial authority; its framework was conceived and enacted entirely by the participating artists. Deliberately forgoing the definition of a singular narrative or relational structure among individual contributions, the exhibition emerged as an open system. While the artists authored the initial conditions, they collectively chose to attenuate their authorial presence in the final presentation, foregrounding instead the agency of participants and the
emergent possibilities inherent in their interactions with the work.
