FAVORITES+
This joint exhibition, previously shown in a reduced version* in Graz in 2002, did not have a recommended or obligatory common theme. The common theme at the heart of Favorites+ is for a recognition of talent. Favorites+ encourages a meeting of a variety of artistic languages through works which show and make audiences feel the differences and the similarities in these approaches to the world, of society -concerning the representation of women for example, as well as the position of mankind - and the position of art in this context. These eleven artists suggest that we should reflect upon our rituals of consumption, our systems of reproduction and representation and question our daily life and our values. In a subtle way they manage to create many echoes to reflect our multiple questions.
