This exhibition humorously explores our complex relationship with gifts During this festive season, why do we feel compelled to give our mother-in-law a gift when we've spent the whole year bickering? How can we mask our disappointment with a present we already know will be resold as early as January?

The gallery artists and a few guests explore this ambivalence through works that question our consumer rituals, our social conventions, and the sincerity of our generous impulses. Between irony and tenderness, their works offer a unique perspective on these moments where politeness and authenticity coexist in a precarious balance.
