An art experience between closeness, process, and exchange

It is the direct view into the studio that makes the allure of this exhibition in the expanded urban space. Encounters with painting, sculpture, object art, photography, graphics, installation, video, performance, and action art transform the tour into an aesthetic experience that not only shows art but makes it visible in the process of creation.

Why this format is so exciting from an art history perspective

Open studios are among the most accessible forms of cultural education. They create transparency in artistic production, promote dialogue between the audience and artists, and open eyes to different artistic styles. For visitors, this creates a rarely direct access to the examination of works and the material side of art.
