Where do the rejected artworks go? And what does it mean when an artwork is denied being part of the art’s public domain? Who capitalizes on this rejection? In "we are sorry to inform you that” an exhibition is an inquiry tool, a media art, a mediator, and an event where the notion of rejection in the art world is criticized and disrupted. It is an attempt to create a “Second Life” where rejected artworks or the "Dark Matter"* of the art ecosystem are experienced within a new context. The world\exhibition is also questioning the mechanisms of meaning, power, legitimization, and gatekeeping in the current art system by showing 30 previously rejected artworks from different regions. Some works look ultimately refreshing to the point that can make you wonder: why did the white cube deprive us of interacting with them? Other works look exactly like any 'successful' artwork that could've made it to the white cube. Yet they have been deprived of being there. It is a question of deprivation in both directions. Digital Curator: Adele Jarrar The "world\exhibition" has three "rooms\sections" which are: Of Disappearance, The Colors that Didn't Make it, and Underrepresented Media. *A metaphor by Gregory Sholette **All artistic & curatorial labor in this exhibition is self-organized and on a voluntary basis. All the artworks that have been submitted were accepted.
