Contemporary artistic practice is eminently related to its political, social and cultural context. Sometimes this link is made visible by a literal need of the outer space, the space of the polis where relationships happen, regardless of it being natural or not. This out-of-the-studio way of existence will inform the conception, production and presentation of the artwork.
