This initiative draws inspiration from art history and collective memory to create an exhibition focused on participation, interaction, collaboration, and evolution, while questioning the role of the curator in the today's context.

The title 'Attitudes Bootlegged (SHH...) embodies the intent to remix conceptual exhibitions of past decades through the art of 'bootlegging'. This clandestine process is akin to the silent growth of a seed, serving as a reminder that those who plant the tree may not always taste the fruit. In the process of silence 'SHH...' captures the essence of whispered possibilities. Here, the absence of sound becomes a place onto which the imagination can act. 'SHH...' is not just a symbol for the sound of whispering or silence; it also corresponds to the first letter of the first name of each curator that inspires the project. This intentional connection to silence serves as a subtle thread, weaving together the attitudes.

Throughout 31 days of this event, contributions from 31 artists will be gradually presented. Artists who do not respond to the invitation will be represented by a blank page. Envision the name of the absent artist on each one.

Visitors are not simple spectators but active participants, encouraged to print each contribution to build the exhibition themselves and subsequently to distribute and sell the bootleg.

The bootlegged catalog is the exhibition itself.

"Don't just visit - Engage !, Explore, remix, print, rearrange, and share, creating a truly unique exhibition experience".
