CONTEXT: Curated by Pernilla Holmes
Discover CONTEXT, the new section of ten curated individual presentations by artists from the late 20th century, focusing on Central and Eastern Europe.
“Internationally, the art community is evolving and looking at art history through a new, more inclusive lens, uncovering a wealth of amazing artists who were once overlooked due to gender, ethnicity, location, education and more. It’s an exciting time when previous barriers to accessing art are falling and important artists are finally getting their due,”
– Pernilla Holmes, curator of this year’s first edition of CONTEXT.
