Everything but the truth

What remains when certainty dissolves?

Everything but the Truth brings together thirteen emerging artists whose practices navigate the unstable territory between memory, identity, imagination and lived experience. Developed through the workshop Tutto tranne la Verità at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna during the academic year 2024–2025, the exhibition arrives in Berlin as the culmination of an intensive process of artistic research and collective dialogue.

Working across painting, sculpture, installation, drawing and mixed media, the participating artists investigate truth not as a fixed condition but as a mutable and contested space. Their works emerge from autobiographical narratives while engaging broader questions concerning representation, perception, intimacy and social experience.

Throughout the exhibition, bodies become archives, materials carry traces of memory, and images function as sites of projection. The works resist definitive interpretation, embracing ambiguity and contradiction as productive conditions through which meaning is continuously negotiated.

Rather than offering answers, Everything but the Truth proposes a space for attention and reflection. The exhibition invites visitors to consider how realities are constructed, remembered and imagined, and how personal experiences intersect with collective histories.

Presented at Almost There, an independent artist-run space in Berlin-Friedrichshain, the exhibition creates a platform for emerging voices and international exchange while fostering dialogue across disciplines, generations and cultural contexts.

About the Project

Everything but the Truth originates from the workshop Tutto tranne la Verità, organized at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna. The workshop encouraged students to slow down and engage critically with their own artistic motivations, working against the accelerated logic of contemporary cultural production. Through autobiographical reflection, critical discussion and sustained engagement with contemporary artistic practices, participants were invited to identify and develop the core tensions driving their work. The exhibition in Berlin presents the outcomes of this process and offers a snapshot of a new generation of artists whose practices are shaped by experimentation, self-reflection and interdisciplinary dialogue.
