When you arrived, please use the intercom, select &ldquo;003 SPACS,&rdquo; and press call. We&rsquo;ll buzz you in. What if the &ldquo;bad object&rdquo; is the other side of &ldquo;good art&rdquo;? &ldquo;Bad Objects, Reconsidered&rdquo; invites us to look at art from a different angle. Rather than asking whether an artwork is &ldquo;good&rdquo; or &ldquo;bad,&rdquo; the exhibition asks how these ideas are formed, who defines them, and what we might discover when we allow ourselves to reconsider. Art is often approached through expectations of beauty, meaning, originality, value, and taste. But these standards are never neutral. They are shaped by culture, institutions, markets, memory, and personal perception. What is dismissed, misunderstood, or placed outside accepted categories may reveal just as much as what is celebrated. To reconsider the &ldquo;bad object&rdquo; is not to reverse judgment, but to slow it down and ask what lies behind it. ▫️Participating Artists Adam Basanta <a fr-original-style="text-align: start;" href="https://www.instagram.com/adambasanta/" style="text-align: start; text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">@adambasanta</a> Carlos Blanco Artero <a fr-original-style="text-align: start;" href="https://www.instagram.com/carlosblancoartero/" style="text-align: start; text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">@carlosblancoartero</a> Diana Shpungin <a fr-original-style="text-align: start;" href="https://www.instagram.com/dianashpungin/" style="text-align: start; text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">@dianashpungin</a> Jimenez Lai <a fr-original-style="text-align: start;" href="https://www.instagram.com/0super/" style="text-align: start; text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">@0super</a> <a fr-original-style="text-align: start;" href="https://www.instagram.com/_bureauspectacular/" style="text-align: start; text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">@_bureauspectacular</a> ▫️Visual Design&nbsp;<a fr-original-style="text-align: start;" href="https://www.instagram.com/skapos_design/" style="text-align: start; text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">@skapos_design</a>
