The exhibition displays in real time where you can share things you would like to express but can’t in everyday life.

Now featuring in Miami for IGNITE Broward. IGNITE Broward 2025 takes place from February 14-23, 2025. Free entry
BIOGRAPHY:
Powerful works of art have traditionally sprung from some source deep within an artist and, if they strike the right tone, resonate with an audience to leave a lasting mark. But what if that equation were reversed: what if an artist were to draw their inspiration from deep within their audience, and use that to reflect those ideas, emotions, hopes, fears, pains and aspirations back to us?
Over a two-year period, Max Cooper has collected and interpreted anonymous quotes, leading to On Being Installation with Ksawery Komputery and Minjoeng An, and the forthcoming On Being album out 28 Feb on Mesh.
