What the exhibitions on this page have in common is their labyrinthine character. Whether spatially, aesthetically, or regarding the underlying curatorial methodology and research process, the following exhibitions are inspired by non-linearity, disorder, complexity, confusion, and uncertainty. This might manifest physically in form of a dislocating exhibition set-up or inform the visitor's meaning-making process by proposing open-ended narratives and ambiguous learning outcomes. The labyrinth yields itself as a metaphor. Its winding paths of confusion, the quest to conquer it by discovering its core. The exhibitions listed here propose labyrinths conceived to never be solved.
