DESCRIPTION

Ilya and Emilia Kabakov have produced this limited edition of only 20 prints in response to the themes of secrecy and invisibility addressed in the IMMA collection exhibition, What happens next is a secret. This experimental exhibition attempts to addresses the question of what happens when artworks become part of a collection and are subsequently shown in many different contexts. Working from a potential list of works, the artworks will be changed during the course of the exhibition, with removal of artworks generating absences which call to mind gaps in our memory and point to the partially hidden nature of Museum collections. Additions of works will draw out new and perhaps unexpected associations, and new narratives will emerge within the overall structure of the exhibition. Other strategies such as repositioning works within the exhibition will be used to alter the pace of the exhibition. A list of these potential works will not be disclosed in advance.
