(Ongoing) meme brings together the work of six artists exploring how objects, materials, and systems actively perform meaning through repetition, transformation, and disruption. Taking inspiration from the concept of performativity, the exhibition reveals how cultural structures—whether economic, emotional, or technological—are constantly performed, reinterpreted, and reshaped rather than fixed.

 The (Ongoing) in the title suggests a state of constant flux—an endless cycle of becoming, where systems never settle but continue to shift, distort, and react to their surroundings. Featuring painting, installation, and performance, here, the meme goes beyond internet culture. It becomes a metaphor for how ideas, symbols, and objects circulate, replicate, and evolve over time. This is a space where nothing is static. Objects act, images repeat, and meaning is constantly redefined.
