O the Hoe, the Hoe, the Hoe

The exhibition O the Hoe, the Hoe, the Hoe is about the ways of storytelling. Through the displayed objects and other artefacts it seeks to present stories in which the human being occupies the position of one of many relevant subjects. Thus, we encounter several new types of narratives that are not mere instruments leading the audience and the spectators to their conclusion, but rather a form of their own that grants itself and everything it encompasses a certain degree of autonomy. If we step back for a moment, we find that the landscape around us could one day become such a self-formed story as well. What role do the means of contemporary art play in its redefi nition is not yet noticeably clear. At first glance, however, it is evident that they co-create a space in which new forms of storytelling constitute a central creative principle. Th is exhibition is no different.
