EnclaveLAB

April 28th - May 12th 2017

 

We’re All Involved In This Mess presented an experimental performative exhibition at EnclaveLab in London. The three-week-long exhibition comprised a flux of performances and site-specific creations in which artists engaged both with the space and with previous works, leaving a succession of traces along the way. 

 

We’re All Involved In This Mess is about the process, not the final product; an evolving exhibition created through sedimentation. The individual practices amalgamated and individual authorship became hazy. 

​

The project blurred the exhibitionary boundaries that usually divide exhibition and production, studio and gallery, unfolding over three weeks, with each weekend beginning with an evening-long marathon of performances. In between these, static, residual traces of each event accompanied by video documentation of the performances were exhibited.
