4 August – Cell has emerged
EMERGENCE unfolds over six weeks.
Beginning on 28 July, a new chapter will emerge every Tuesday,
gradually revealing artists and conversations, until the complete exhibition
opens on 8 September 2026.
Cell — Simple Rules
CHAPTER I

Every complex system begins with a simple rule.
Before organisms, before intelligence, before society, there is only interaction.
