Martina Beka Martina Beka, ‘again’

Opening: WEDNESDAY 29th April 6-8pm Dates: 29th April - 23rd May 2026

‘again’ is an extension of Martina Beka’s solo exhibition, ‘what if i forget’. Featuring
materials that carry the accumulated wear and debris from her previous installation,
this reiteration investigates memory, perfectionism, cleanliness and wear through
materiality and the traces of human interaction. New aluminium sheets clad the
gallery walls, while previously used sheets are relocated to the gallery floor,
registering a shift between what was and what now is. Photographic works are
presented alongside these surfaces, still holding magnet and dirt marks from their
previous installation site. The exhibition invites ongoing records of contact across both wall and floor-based works.


The gallery becomes a site of shared experience, where audiences are invited to engage with the work - whether accidental or intentional, gentle or disruptive - the audience becomes an active participant in shaping the work. These interactions speak to the involuntary act of letting go, where uncontrollable and inevitable shifts of the material, resemble personal processes and experiences beyond control. Rather than existing solely as a recollection of the past, again exists as an ongoing negotiation between past and present, where meaning is continuously reshaped through material alteration and audience interaction. #
