Deutsches Historisches Museum - Verf�hrung Freiheit. Kunst in Europa seit 1945 - Blog

The exhibition “Modes of Democracy”, at DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, in Prague, deals with the national and global ideas of the term “democracy”, contextualised against the backgrounds of individual artists, and the influences on them of geography and their own cultural backgrounds. The selection of over 30 artists and their individual works focuses on identifying and interpreting different types of regime in Europe, varying in scale from federal states or cities down to smaller units, such as villages or local neighbourhoods. Viewing things in these different perspectives, the visitor to the exhibition arrives at a better understanding of various forms of ‘trans-national democracy’.
