In this exhibition artists from all over the world take referrence to some ground breaking artists of the past. An hommage to the spirit of innovation, non-conformity and alternative thinking of the older days.
Art looks back on a history that is as multi-faceted and fascinating as our own time. Among the illustrators, designers, sculptors, painter, calligraphers, fashion designers and architects of the past millenia, new avant-gardes constantly emerge, establishing themselves to be replaced soon enough by the next generation craving innovation. A process of creation that naturally builds upon preceding aesthetics, concepts and techniques, that deconstructs them in order to create a contemporary art-remix. Many artists eschew this conscious connection to history.
Freely and radically, they create new approaches: the new Art.
