Details
The exhibition follows the concept of "Open Space" exhibitions held from fiscal year 2006 to 2021. It presents works that can be interpreted from various perspectives, including the structures of selection and exclusion inherent in recording media, the circulation of images in digital environments, and forms of communication outside the frameworks of perception established since Western modernity. The event features works offering new perspectives on the inheritance of memory, even if they do not directly address history. Admission fees apply for general entry and the Anechoic Room experience, with free admission for specific groups such as seniors, students, and holders of disability handbooks. Priority is given to those who reserve in advance. Closed days include every Monday and building maintenance days.
