GLOBALE: Exhibitions

Black pixels, which condense inside. In the middle is »GLOBALE« written

Globalisation and digitalisation have not only changed the world; they have also changed the function and context of art and the way in which art is presented. The GLOBALE wants to show the diversity and abundance of current art, going beyond market and auction art. One special focus is the convergence of art and science due to the new, shared technological tools. 

On this page, you can see an overview of the various exhibitions and installations that were presented by the GLOBALE in 2015-2016.
