How do the life histories of people and objects, which are essential to human action, inform each other? Through a selection of fifteen artworks from two private collections, Replica of the Original explores the way the ‘biographies’ of objects and human stories intertwine while continually transformed over time. The exhibition indicates the manifold conventions that occur in the event a collected artwork reenters the public space, where new meanings and interactions form among the other works, the viewers, and the environment.
