Synopsis
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, Project Europaconsiders the relationship of art and artists to democracy. What is the role of art in the public sphere? In what ways do artists mediate the vital and critical political issues of their time? What is the emancipator potential of art? In the exhibition, nineteen artists from the British Isles to Turkey challenge the collective imagination of Europe while confronting a paradox: Europe as the site of possibility and impossibility for creating an egalitarian society.
Europe is a name, a continent, and an abstract idea. Europe was the center of Judeo-Christian tradition and, later, the beacon of the Enlightenment's universal values of equity, tolerance, and reason. Nevertheless, Europe has also given rise to xenophobia and racism, religious intolerance, and the hardening of immigration policies.
This thought-provoking, visually dynamic exhibition includes poetry, photography, prints, paintings, video, installations, and wall drawings, and features an international roster of artists. In the debate between the separation of art from everyday life or the immersion of art into everyday life, these artists stake a claim at the intersection of both sides.

A preview of the exhibition appeared in Art Forum;reviews will appear in the June issues of Art in Americaand Camera Austriamagazines.The exhibition travels to the Miriam and Ira D.
