About the Project: The Show Must Go On (TSMGO)

TSMGO emerged from a desire to challenge the structural limitations of the international art world, where only a select few established artists are often given the opportunity to showcase their work. This project provides a mobile platform for artists to independently present their works, engage with new audiences, and initiate meaningful dialogues beyond national and institutional boundaries.

At the heart of TSMGO is the "Traveling Portfolio Suitcase". This program allows artists to create a suitcase filled with their works, which is then sent to curators worldwide. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s <La Boîte-en-valise>, the suitcase offers a personal and tactile way to engage with the artist's ideas and processes, encouraging deep reflection.
