Modart presents 2nd Hand Smoke
Next to Art.Fair21, Modart is pleased to tickle your throat gently with its own brand of second hand smoke, an exhibition featuring a selection of young artists who live as art, who have risked to communicate, earned their street credentials and begun to stir up the hierarchies of fine visual arts.

The Mr. Ego Shop in Brussels had their window tagged in acid. Instead of replacing it, they paid No New Enemies and The London Police to produce a collaboration with the silver scar.

No New Enemies is an international network of artists, activists, academics and passionate people aiming to support free expression, emerging arts and collaboration. From producing shows, connecting creative minds, and changing the facades of our cities, the passion that goes into this is something definitely worth checking out. Wanna know more?

Pas Dans le port d'Amsterdam (and news from the London Police)

You’ve probably been there and if not there’s a thousand good blogs on Dutch perversions, red lights, cozy canals and the meaning of the word gezellig. So, I’m just going to go over a few spots you should visit when there or might wish you could.

Garden of Delight

Creative Action = Active Creation
We are all artists of our own lives, and our shared realities.
In an age where no authority is left to tell us what to believe, when science, media and even common sense appear tainted with institutionalized bias, only questions, creativity and bravery have holding power.
Art can be considered a struggle for emotional honesty and a search for new aesthetic possibilities. It can be seen as the expressive science of the absurd and the true. It cannot be tested, though it will be tried. Art is an essential indicator of any so-called Democracy. Its social role needs to be protected. Its practitioners need assistance in order to share whatever is inside of them.
