In the spring of 2026, INNA Art Space invited Transtage to act as the initiator, curating the thematic exhibition Make and Remake to Make Anew.

The exhibition brings together fifteen artists, directing attention to what is discarded within the chain of production—surplus materials. In spring,  In spring, “growth” becomes an action. What is discarded no longer signifies an end, but becomes the point from which regeneration begins.

Spring arrives quietly—slipping through the gaps of a window, brushing across tabletops and piles of paper.

On the Spring Equinox of 2026, we present Make and Remake to Make Anew. More than a poetic image of seasonal return, the title proposes a way of imagining the fate of materials and their potential for regeneration. What happens to the parts that are cut away, discarded, or set aside within the chain of production? Might these remnants still hold the possibility of growing again?

In systems driven by efficiency and consumption, a single use is often followed by immediate obsolescence. Yet once the boundary between use and uselessness begins to blur, the logic of pure functionality starts to dissolve.

The title echoes curator João Fernandes’s description of the working method of Mexican artist Ulises Carrión, whose practice of rewriting, copying, and reuse generated new works from existing ones. Making, remaking, and generating anew form a cycle—one that resonates with the idea of life returning with the spring wind.

Making, remaking, and generating anew form a cycle—one that resonates with the idea of life returning with the spring wind.

Artists from different backgrounds begin here with residual materials: trimmed proof edges, ink traces from press maintenance, printing offcuts, discarded poster backings, airsickness bags from flights and so on. Once merely by-products within a workflow, these fragments gain a new possibility once removed from their original order of production.

In the touch of the spring wind, remnants grow into new forms—anew. And when the exhibition ends, they may again become soil for another cycle.

Let us bathe in the light of spring.

Whenever the spring wind brushes the face, something newly new may rise from the earth.
