With no audience available, the performance took place nevertheless. Does the artist need an audience? How do you communicate an idea to no one?

REPETITION AND CHAOS
THE DISTINCTLY HUMAN AND VIVID WORK OF AMAIA GOMEZ MARZABAL “My inspiration is the image itself. I like to tell a story with my art and let the viewer thinking about the message of the image,” says Amaia Gomez Marzabal of her paintings, “Through the ideas of repetition and chaos, I like to speak about human behaviors: what we repeat unconsciously and what we try to change from the social patterns we have learned since childhood.” There is something inherently human and messy and true about seeing an image that feels so real but which at the same time edges into the surreal like one sees in...

THE FOUND OBJECTS OF ANDREE KONG
ONE WOMAN’S JUNK, THE WORLD’S TREASURE Hong Kong has, for centuries existed as a city on the precipice of both the East and West, a threshold between worlds, and like her place of birth, Andree Kong was raised on the edge and in the middle of many things at once. Born into a bilingual family, Andree was raised to appreciate the values and art forms from two very distinct cultures.

"The butterfly does not count the months,  but the moments, therefore she gets enough time ” (Tagore) The first question that usually arises for a group exhibition is what brings the authors together? Or what connects the artworks to each other? We are dealing with a normal question where, in addition to seeing and observing the works separately, one by one, we search a common message which brought them together and which they intend to convey. More or less, starting from the middle of the XX-thcentury, this is how group exhibitions work. Certain...
