Staged is a materially expansive work which began as exhibition that transformed the gallery into a space of layered reenactment and structural critique, using the figure of Kurt Cobain as a lens to explore how capitalism absorbs and commodifies resistance and dissent. While Cobain may be the entry point, the exhibition is not merely about him as a musical icon. Instead, it's about the broader ways in which our cultural and economic systems turn acts of defiance into marketable surfaces. Through a combination of video, sculpture, and installation, "Staged” interrogates how normativity and capitalism co-opts acts of opposition , leaving us in a loop of reenactment that feels both inescapable and eerily relevant to our current moment.
