After in-depth research of the Eastern European art scene, 14 artists and a curator were invited to exhibit as finalists of our Impossible Prize. Can you reach me? focuses on breaking through barriers, boundaries, and power struggles to present a physical show, even if physical work itself could not be shipped as in the “old” method of curation. Artists were invited to “send” work to RuptureXIBIT via digital means, or via instructions that could be carried out with easily available everyday materials. In this way, the artists take the impossibility of putting on a physical show and frustrate it, squeezing physicality through the global information tube and re-constituting that work in the gallery at RuptureXIBIT.

Curators: Kate Howe and Alisa Lisovskaia
