Travels

Every exhibition begins with an idea. The idea of The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe since 1945 was to examine European values on the basis of the idea of the Enlightenment. What actually binds Europe together, when socialism and democracy irreconcilably confronted each other for so long? And how can values and ideas be presented beyond geographical and political boundaries?

The curators of the exhibition set out on a journey to research these questions. They travelled for two years across all of Europe. During their journey, they not only involuntarily spent a night at the Serbo-Croatian border, but also successfully acquired over 200 loan agreements. And the journey continues: Milan, Tallinn, and Krakow are the next destinations for The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe since 1945.

We therefore want to try our hand at travel blogging (and tips are always welcome), recounting the travels taken through Europe by our curators, artworks, and exhibition.
