Inclusive representation and systematical diversification is prevented by the gatekeeping of permanent collections of contemporary art musea, which are defined by their underlying power structures, based on an ideology intertwined with discrimination.

White Cube is a conversation starter about diversity – and more precisely the lack there of – in the art world, focussing on institutes permanent collections. Over the last few years we have seen a rise of temporary exhibitions of more diverse artists. However, this doesn’t translate into structural change. Diversity and representation is seen as a trend, something you can only commit to short-term. This creates a progressive veneer, a cosmetic performance even, that hides underlying conflicts regarding systematic oppression.
      In White Cube the temporality of diversity is highlighted by translating it in a literal manner through restricting the

accessibility to the exhibitions in an exaggerated manner. Daily, a different exhibition takes place by a different curator. However, these exhibitions are only available for 15 minutes a day. To transform the temporary show of diversity in to something more permanent, the visitor is able to print a physical translation of the exhibition in the form of a poster. By means, performing an act of archiving, while simultaneously creating a personal, permanent collection. Additionally, visitors can create a zine containing more information about diversity in the art world and the forces that uphold the discriminatory and oppressive system.
