Accurate Misreadings
In the organizer's words:
As part of Berlin Art Week 2025, NOME is pleased to present Accurate Misreadings
an exhibition that explores the complex and often unstable relationship between text, meaning and interpretation.
"Reading is always an act of collaboration," writes Umberto Eco, reminding us that meaning does not lie in the text alone, but is created in the space between what is written and what is read. Every act of reading is characterized by ambiguity, subjectivity and choice. In this sense, interpretation becomes a creative process and each reading generates its own version of truth.
Based on the assumption that language is inherently unstable, the exhibition brings together works that explore the mutability of meaning through visual fragmentation, semantic layering and acts of appropriation. With a focus on the reader, the exhibition emphasizes the temporal and subjective dimension of interpretation.
Other works in the exhibition turn to the political dimensions of language. Several artists deal with bureaucratic documents, archival materials and algorithmic codes - text forms that have historically been used for regulation, exclusion and control. Through gestures of redaction, reconfiguration and appropriation, these works show
how meaning is often shaped by power structures.
