Do you remember how it all started? When showing art was an end in itself and was staged purely out of joy? When it was no longer about selling, but solely about connecting? When we didn’t need money? Little to live on and even less to build something great? The spirit from which everything else grew, and which still permeates our activities today. We’re going back there. That’s where we recharge. That’s what we’ll stage. On a grand scale.

Not that the world would just be good. A lot of things look really bad right now, with the prospect of things getting even worse. Still, it is always both. Media attention is triggered by the negative, and that makes us sick. The glass is half full, the glass is half empty. Let’s focus on the positive and show an alternative to the bad.
