A comet, a nuclear war, a pandemic, a world war, a climate disaster, artificial intelligence. Since the beginning of time, humans has lived with the threat of extinction of their own species. In modern times, it is often ourselves who have created the disasters that threaten the conditions for our existence. But humans also have the ability to dream of a better world. The fight for justice, equality and freedom is ongoing and in every country on earth.
In this year's salon at Österängens konsthall, the theme is utopia/dystopia. Heaven and hell. The salon is democratic - there is no jury and everyone who submitted works to the exhibition is included. The exhibition brings together around one hundred artists - amateurs as well as professionals - who all interpret the theme in their own way. In Utopia/Dystopia, art historian Paulina Sokolow also looks back at some of art history's most iconic works with predictions or fears about the future.
Producers: Jannie Sidenvik & Johanna Linder Opening Saturday november 30th at 1 pm.
