In only a few cases, the relationship between artists and curators is REALLY relaxed. Recently, artists have increasingly tackled this problem, starting to reflect this relationship critically and with more and more self-esteem. Hence, the exhibition gathers a series of essential positions on this subject. It is no surprise that a large part of the artists come from the eastern parts of Europe. There, very negative experiences in relation to selecting artists for major exhibitions could have been observed over the last years. However, the situation is not that pessimistic, on the contrary, most artistic contributions show a criticism with strongly humorist features, rendering the art-specific subject a life-necessary easiness.
