April Is The Cruellest MonthTONI AREAL, ROOM 5K09 GALERIE 2THE ROOM IS BOOKED FROM:13.04 - 19.04 (2026) The opening line from T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land published in 1922 serves as the title andinspiration for this exhibition. The ruins post-WW1 and a global pandemic (1918-1920 flupandemic) form the context of the line as resonant and post-catastrophic. The line acts as both prophecy and cliche. It is prophetic in the sense that it points to the comingof spring as a force which violently stirs us out from the inertia of an undead winter. It is cliche inthe sense that seasons, their metaphors, even the poem itself are nothing new to us, they havebeen in circulation for too long. Plenty of coincidences can be noted from the context of thepoem to the here and now, these parallels are themselves part of a culture burnt out from itsexcesses and self-observation. This exhibition allows several ways to explore and confront its title. The title operates as a poeticdevice and absolutist claim. In this way an affective and critical dynamic is established, in whicha yearning for emotive participation meets critical distance and caution. “April Is The CruellestMonth” opens up several thematic possibilities, these are situated and renewed in acontemporary problematic of suspicion, performativity and plurality. The title is relevant as aloaded term expressing the tension of the real, the impactful and unavoidable in relation tohistoricity, contingency and discourseParticipating artists:Pedro RedardGirbe VoogdLeonardo GalassiArya RambodVeljko MrvicKiki Chan
