How creative friends handle aesthetic incompatibility in group projects

My art school friends and I have been planning a group show for a year, but now that we're installing, it's obvious that some of our work doesn't belong together aesthetically. We're all too invested to back out but the show feels disjointed and none of our individual pieces are being seen clearly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Friendship's loyalty can outlast artistic logic, creating exhibitions that serve relationship maintenance over creative clarity.
