The history of Modern art has been the narrowing of horizons towards the individual viewpoint. Try to think about a chain of individuals, posting messages, and trying to be understood either by words or by artistic work. This is ARTLIVES... Clara Pechansky, Brazil

Show dedicated to Peter Heller (1929 - 2002).

In modern society of today, globalisation seems to be the keyword. On every possible level we are confronted with it. Be it political, economical or social globalisation, the word seems to be omnipresent.

In his inauguration speech as new director of the Tate Modern in London, Vicente Todoli even coins what seems to be some sort of aesthetical globalisation. He observes that internationalism is an important artistic impulse and states that:Globalisation is the essential spirit of art.

Todays extreme focus on the process of globalisation generates the impression that we only need to dispose of the differences that divide us all for the world to be a better and more harmonious place. Uniformity prevents or effaces every possible argument so that peace and understanding can finally prevail!

There is, however, an alternative. Globalisation might settle all differences but it simultaneously radicates everything that constitutes us as human beings. Uniformity opposes a radical contrast to individuality and leaves therefore no room for identity. The alternative is the dialogue. The dialogue depends on differences, it grows and thrives on it.

It is precisely the things that set us apart that constitute the very essence of the dialogue, it is here its strength lies. Artlives is a dialogue, a place where different people from different countries with different backgrounds come with different points of view on different subjects. The only things we have in common are an interest in contemporary art, a willingness to talk and, finally, the ability to listen. This is the alternative, this is the dialogue and this is Artlives.

Carlo Geers, Sweden
