Atelier Gapont - Greener

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE

YEAR | 2015

LOCATION | Vaduz

The world is on the move, driven by the idea that things are better elsewhere. Some people leave their homes in search of education, work or a better life. Others travel out of interest, a thirst for adventure or to do their bit for a better world.

At the exhibition “The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side”, 36 artists aged between 25 and 45 inquired how a small state presents itself, whether it can play a model role, and what effects migration and tourism have. The aim of the show was to draw a critical comparison between the small states and, at the same time, to try to find inspiring unique features.

THE ARTISTS

36 artists from Liechtenstein, Iceland, Luxembourg and Montenegro focus on the reality of small European states and how they are perceived by others.
