Project Europa: Imagining the (Im)Possible considers the relationship of art to democracy in Europe.
In 1989, the expansion and unification of Europe was conceived as a vital and urgent social project
to promote democracy. Now in the 20th anniversary year of the fall of the Berlin Wall, artists in
the exhibition question the promise and potential of Europe's democratic dream. The works featured
in the exhibition, which include large-scale wall paintings, photography and video by 20 artists
from Turkey to the British Isles, explore the complex and subtle relationship between art and politics.
At the same time, the reflection on Europe provides an opportunity for American audiences to reconsider
and reinvigorate our understanding of democracy at home.
