Telling Everything, Not Knowing How is a double format project. On the one side, an exhibition within the CA2M galleries, displaying works that incorporate narrative possibilities, which questions the fact of how to explain; on the other side, the publication of a novel written by Marti Manen, curator of the exhibition, that works as a second version of the exhibition. The show presents the work from 10 artists: Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Rosana Antolí, Rosa Barba, Keren Cytter, Kajsa Dahlberg, Lilli Hartmann, Rosalind Nashashibi / Lucy Skaer, Christodoulos Panayiotou, Job Ramos, and Alex Reynolds.
Telling Everything, Not Knowing How reflects about what can be done and what can be told from the art side, which role-plays the emotion within the narrative and also which fiction, reality, political, and social contents appear within the contemporary creation. The physical exhibition at CA2M presents a series of key works that talk about the narrative and contemporary art. Including different installations, video and film projects, photography, and text-based works which coexist in a permanent dialogue where there is a distinguished need of interaction with the visitor.
