Excerpt from the eulogy:
" The exhibition is outstanding not only in the way it poses the problem, but also in the way the artist-museum educator and the art historian-curator collaborated from the very first moment.
Their curatorial concept was thoughtful, working with a very broad and differentiated notion of care, their selection was sensitive, they let the works speak, which, despite a strong concept and texts that really helped interpretation, were not illustrations. (...) However, according to the AICA jury the exhibition's main virtue (which ultimately put it ahead of its excellent competitors) was that its methods and projects went beyond its own boundaries, i.e. beyond the representative exhibition of a large institution. And when it literally stepped outside the exhibition space and the museum, it did not open up new spaces for art, but for care, and showed new aspects of it. "

Handle with care 15. September, 2023 – 14. January, 2024
The exhibition’s title Handle with Care refers to the vulnerability of those in need of care, the asymmetrical relationship between carer and cared for, the fragility of life and our ecosystem, and the cracks and gaps in the social care system, but most of all, it calls attention to the need for collective responsibility.
