In A Room Anything Can Happen considers the parallels between museums and hotels as modern institutions that came of age during the 19th century, when the concept of public space entered into social consciousness. The hotel offers depersonalized privacy in public, while the museum allows a personal encounter with objects in the midst of the public realm. They both are stationary pursuits offering transitory experiences which break the routine of the everyday.

Curated by Sandra Cerisola, Michal Jachula, Sohrab Mohebbi, Gabi Ngcobo, Carlos Palacios, Francesca Sonara, Diana Stevenson, and Yulia Tikhonova
