EXHIBITIONS
& CONFERENCES
Facsimiles, like original objects, gain meaning from the contexts in which they are exhibited and experienced. Factum Foundation’s facsimiles and recreations allow curators to broach new frontiers in terms of what and how it is possible to exhibit, while the exhibitions which we organise ourselves call into question traditional distinctions between authenticity and originality.
We ask audiences to think about the trains of transmission which lie between the present context of viewing and the multiple “original” contexts of the objects in front of them, and to question the curatorial strategies which claim to offer direct, unmediated access to something “real” and “true”.
