The group exhibition Uncommonplaces opened up a dialectical space between the artistic and the everyday, originality and banality, and the object and the abject. The commonplace refers to a dimension of our reality that we often overlook or neglect. Adding the prefix "un-" raises the question of whether we can imagine an alternative, experimental version of the everyday.
