The Burrow is a pav­il­ion of The Wrong Bien­nale (Nov 2019 – Mar 2020), en­vision­ing the inter­net as myriads of inter­twin­ing under­ground tun­nels; where places of ref­uge co­incide with the secret bases of those must be hidden from. The show was curated by Aad Björkro and is a sibling of the Very Large Works pavilion by Bjørn Magn­hild­øen and Zsolt Mester­hazy.

Inspired by aard­varks, who will dig to escape when threat­ened, and leave their burr­ows for others to use when relo­cating. The aard­vark reminds us to think with our claws. No one expects us to dig when they force us to move; still in com­pli­ance but keep­ing our place. Then we can tickle the feet of our oppres­sors as they try to pass.

Emerged in the tunnels we tried to listen to those who must never speak, look for things we have lost and spy on the spies spying on us. For display we gathered rel­ics from our past, expan­sions of the hidden, con­nect­ions to the else­where and lessons for the future. We are now glad to invite you to see what we have found.

The exhib­it­ion con­sists of 25 individual works by 27 parti­ci­pa­ting art­ists:
