The Fate of the Avant-garde Project in Art Today

With the advent of the new millennium an avant-garde project has become relevant again, convincingly demonstrated by a number of major international projects such as Station Utopia (2003) and Altermodern (2009).

Join us for a discussion between artists, critics and curators about the traditions of modernism and the utopian initiatives of the 1920s making a comeback after the cynicism and fragmentation of the postmodern era. Art reigns over the imagination and with past and present experiences, it takes the courage to design the future. What are the trends and features of this new avant-garde art? What role do the heroic and tragic experiences of the 1920s play in the new art? Can utopia exist today?
