About this event

  • Event lasts 7 hours

Hide-and-Seek is an ongoing curatorial project conceived as an itinerant and modular group exhibition, unfolding through different iterations in various spaces and adapting each time to the site that hosts it.

Rooted in posthuman theoretical perspectives and inspired by New York’s community gardens, the project reconsiders relationships within open spaces, particularly in green and communal environments designed for hosting and sharing. By engaging artists with diverse practices, Hide-and-Seek explores a posthuman vision centered on interdependence and coexistence among all forms of life. The exhibition transforms with each “situated iteration”, welcoming new guest artists, performers, and activities to respond to the specificity of the context and the local community.

Posthumanism, the theoretical foundation of the curatorial research, is not merely a theme but a method for activating new relationships and modes of participation, moving beyond traditional hierarchical separations. 

In Hide-and-Seek, the game of hide-and-seek between artist, artwork, and visitor becomes a metaphor for an engaged and egalitarian dialogue, transforming the exhibition into a living and ever-evolving ecosystem.
