These are uncertain times for young artists. That is why …ism project space makes room for three starting artists who have finished art academy this summer. Werner van der Zwan, Ruben Golstein and Eva Sigurðardóttir are educated at three different academies but all work site-specific. The artists met at ..ism and will work together for a few weeks within the space to complete the exhibition. In this way they are in dialogue with each other as well as with the specific spatial possibilities of …ism. The artists are lost in a one way space…

An invitation to view CrossingBorders USA offering interpretations of the personal, social, political or cultural barriers and limitations that bind, confound or limit expression, freedoms and growth from GLOBAL ART PROJECT, an international collaborative collective of 60 multidisciplinary artists working out of 17 countries meeting the challenge of art practice in an uncertain environment. We look forward to sharing a unique 3D Virtual Tour experience of the exhibition as well as welcoming you physically into the gallery. What Borders are YOU Willing to Cross?

Space52 and the selection committee have selected 60 artists that will be included in the exhibition. Selected international artists are invited to engage in a series of online exhibitions, eventually staging a gallery exhibition. Paying tribute to the solidarity shown by artists and institutions, at a time when art is suffering fully […]
