Europe

Europe has been shaped by successive civilizations, religious traditions, political formations, intellectual movements and periods of profound conflict and exchange. Its visual cultures carry the traces of antiquity, Christianity, empire, revolution, industrialization, modernism and contemporary transformation. Art of the World examines Europe through the distinct identities of its countries and territories rather than through a single historical center. Each work considers how inherited cultural memory interacts with the present, transforming history, place and collective experience into a contemporary visual language.
