“O Fortuna” is a group exhibition curated by Jessica Gispert & Laurent Pellissier. The exihibition will take place in an intimate domestic space presenting work by a group of artists who’s work reflects, embodies, and have come into contact with the curators on the act of fate. The nature of the show is one taking course to openly following its own destiny, traveling to other domestic spaces and gaining more energy with the participation of new artists in the next participating destination. The work in the show explores the relationship between the banal and the symbolic, how we can construct meanings that we attribute, quite often arbitraily to things.
