An intriguing critique. The exhibition’s difficulty in resonating with contemporary youth seems less a failure of craft than of context—juvenilia, by nature, reflects a specific moment of becoming that doesn’t automatically translate across generations. Without curatorial framing that bridges past adolescence to present realities, early works risk being read as historical artifacts rather than living conversations. Your reflection raises an important question: if art is to speak across time, how much responsibility lies with the artwork itself, and how much with the way we choose to present and interpret it today?
