Pina Issue 1: Possibilities of Exhibition Design

For the launch of the first issue of the magazine Pina, the Nieuwe Instituut will host an artist talk by Asad Raza and a panel event about Exhibition Design. Pina is a new exhibition space in the form of an art magazine. It commissions two contemporary artists per issue and invites them to create an exhibition that only takes place on the magazine’s pages.

Raza presents his exhibition in Pina #1, ‘Array’. It narrates the journeys of the two basic elements that come together to make it happen: light and paper. The artist expands on the process of the making-of as well as the conceptual framework of ‘Array’– ranging from photons and cosmic microwave backgrounds to the intricacies of representationalism and inseparability.

The following panel and Q&A dive into an interdisciplinary approach to the possibilities of exhibition design. Ranging editorial, architectural, design and artistic practices, the panel presents examples and perspectives on the multiplicity and potential that lies within exhibitions and the way their spaces are configured. Ideas around worldbuilding, storytelling and imagination are explored.

The event is followed by drinks and nibbles in the Nieuwe Café.
