Palekaitė scatters her own thoughts and memories within the language of the many protagonists of her exhibition, blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction and establishing a more intimate relation with history. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/39100 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://kunsthal.gent/en/exhibitions/the-institute-of-things-to-come | Discipline: | multidisciplinair | Research Context: | Kunstal Gent hosted The Institute of Things to Come, a traveling program curated by Valerio Del Baglivo that comprises a yearly-thematic program of performances, workshops, publications and exhibitions. At Kunsthal Gent, The Institute of Things to Come presented an exhibition by artist Goda Palekaitė titled The Strongest Muscle in the Human Body is the Tongue and a new performance by artist Quinsy Gario titled Tracing a memory pt. 2. Through the means of performance, storytelling and writing, both artists weave together historical facts and personal accounts with the aim of deconstructing the grand narratives underlying hegemonic discourses on race, identity, gender and origin. | Related Info: | Kunsthal Gent The Institute of Things to Come Lithuanian Council for Culture Solo exhibition at Editorial, Vilnius (same title) |
