Material Manipulations is the second chapter of a collection exhibition based on material as an artistic commodity. After Material Memories showed how material can be charged with meaning, the second chapter deals with the aesthetic quality of the materials, focusing on the artistic treatment processes and material experiments. The exhibition unites artistic positions from different generations and geographic contexts: what they have in common, is the unconventional use or processing of material and the curiosity to experiment with it.
What stories do we tell? Who do we listen to? Blood, sweat, tears, and bodies: memories are stored in nature. With the help of natural materials and audio-visual media, Bopape approaches the question of what we remember.
The multi-sensory show invites visitors to smell, taste, hear, see, feel and dream. It recalls untold, forgotten and repressed stories and with the help of dreaming, departs from linear narratives. Through remembering, Bopape approaches the desire for collective healing: the dream to come.
