If time is an onslaught, love is a mission
27.02.2026–17.04.2026
curated by Ginevra Ludovici
Opening: Friday February 27, 6–9 PM
With the title If time is an onslaught, love is a mission, drawn from a verse by Kae Tempest, the exhibition situates itself within a temporality marked by urgency, transformation, and historical pressure. If time acts as a force that presses forward and disintegrates, love—understood here as a practice of relation and responsibility—emerges as a gesture capable of opposing duration, care, and shared possibility. Rather than naming a theme, the title introduces a tension: between what overwhelms and what persists, between individual vulnerability and collective construction.
With this group exhibition, 10 documents continues its public research program centered on affection understood as a relational force: that which moves bodies, shapes communities, and redefines critical thought. Through exhibitions, workshops, publications, and sonic and performative acts, the project investigates how relations, bonds, and forms of proximity may become aesthetic, political, and social matter.
The exhibition brings together practices that operate within this relational field, articulating different positions in relation to its central question. The invited artists—Anouk Chambaz, Agnese Fieno Spolverini, Dalija Kaukėnaitė, Andrea Lo Giudice, Caterina Morigi, and Chiara Pagano—belong to the same generation, while working across distinct approaches, languages, and media: from drawing to writing, from sound to performance and video, through sculpture and installation. Rather than constructing a unified narrative, the works render visible diverse modes of being in relation, allowing a plurality of voices to emerge without resolving into synthesis.
Within this horizon, affection does not coincide with harmony or identification, but with the possibility of sustaining relation as a practice over time. If time is an onslaught, love is a mission thus names a present condition: continuing to build bonds even as history accelerates, making care a minimal yet concrete form of shared resistance.
On the occasion of the opening, the exhibition will be accompanied by Is this vomit fruitful anyhow?, a reading performance by Agnese Fieno Spolverini.
