What We Hold On To(2025)

What We Hold On To is a group exhibition that explores the concept of storage—not just as a logistical process, but as an emotional, psychological, and cultural condition as well. Presented at Black Cube Headquarters (BCHQ) in a former industrial warehouse, this exhibition gathers local, national, and international artists whose works consider storage in an expanded sense: through trauma and memory, loss and tradition, hoarding and healing, preservation and release.

Referencing the building’s storage function as well as the behind-the-scenes infrastructure of collecting museums, artworks in What We Hold On To are presented on pallet racking, a common industrial storage system. This racking is sheathed in translucent, hand-sewn fabric panels intended to both display and conceal. As you meander through this ghostly exhibition hall, we invite you to mull over the following: What do we choose to maintain, preserve, or hide away? What is archived, inherited, or left behind?
