demo station: Memorabilia – Perseverare diabolicum
Workshop
Memorabilia presents "Perseverare diabolicum".
Repentance, regrets, small acts of selfishness or cowardice in ordinary people find no place in history books.
Yet if the fate of the collective is determined by the sum of individual choices, it is valuable for new generations to be able to draw from the experiential legacy—even the private one—of those who came before them.
Perseverare diabolicum is a playful experiment that seeks to investigate the mechanisms of self-representation in our society and to spark new intergenerational dialogues.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
During the exhibition, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you could be recognizable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the exhibition.
Admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability.
The activities planned during the demo station’s activation are organized by the association. If you have any questions about the content or how the event will be conducted, please contact the association directly.
