As part of Berlin Art Week 2025, NOME is pleased to presentAccurateMisreadings, an exhibition thatexplores the layered, often unstable relationship between text, meaning, and interpretation.

“Reading is always an act of collaboration,” writes Umberto Eco, reminding us that meaning does notreside in the text alone, but rather emerges from the space between what is written and what is read. Every act of reading involves ambiguity, subjectivity, and choice. In this sense, interpretation becomes acreative process, and every reading generates its own version of truth.

Premised on the notion that language is inherently unstable, the exhibition brings together works thatexplore thefluidity of meaning through visual fragmentation, semantic layering, and acts ofappropriation. Directing the focus toward the reader, the exhibition highlights the temporal andsubjective nature of interpretation.

Other works in the show turn to the political dimensions of language. Several artists engage withbureaucratic documents, archival records, and algorithmic codes—forms of text historically used toregulate, exclude, and control. Through gestures of redaction, reconfiguration, and appropriation, theseworks reveal how meaning is often shaped by systems of power.
