From 22 till 31 January this exhibition was held at the Grand Church of Alkmaar. In the 16th century this church wasn't only a place of worship, but far more a meeting place. That made it the perfect location to held this exhibition. Almost 70 artists from every continent showed their innovating art about the theme of globalisation and met the other artists as well as the public. During the opening weekend different performances were held by artists and musicians.
The film made by Carlos Scaranci gives a good impression of the exhibition and the opening.
. So the artists can keep in tough with each other, start collaborations or new projects and exhibitions.
Prior to the exhibition previews were held in Heerhugowaard and in Alkmaar. On each preview a number of the selected artists showed a second artwork. In Heerhugowaard the preview was held at 2 locations, namely in Cool art and culture and in the Artotheek with the foyer of the cityhall. The location of the preview in Alkmaar was livingroom gallery Atelier 9en40.
