Processual (re)presentations of ‘knowing’ without beginning(s) nor end(ings)Can an artwork manifest itself through the audience’s or participants’ willing entanglement within the intricate network of an artist’s densely populated research space? Exploring process-based, or database-centred archival modes of knowing and commoning, through the Ryoji Ikeda exhibition at Amos Rex.
‘Ryoji Ikeda’, on view at the Amos Rex Museum from September 27, 2023, to February 25, 2024, is the eponymous artist’s first solo exhibition in Finland. Curated by Terhi Tuomi, the exhibition contains five works spread over three exhibition spaces.
