The exhibition 

The artists are specialized and acknowledged in various fields: contemporary painting, sculptures, mixed-media, gold-art, photography and film-work. The cultural antipodes between West and East influenced a new view on the metamorphosis of art. In previous exhibitions in Bonn and Chengdu we experienced a strong dialogue between the creation of the Western art and the effects of Eastern culture combined to a unique design of art. 
These venues and exhibitions took place before the Covid 19-crisis.

Due to the pandemic crisis, artists all over the world are affected. Because of the geographical distance the crisis first hit the Asian artists, some weeks later the European, South- and North American artists. Art and culture - no matter which field we observe - are presently struggling. 
The exhibiting artists reflect the conflict resulting from the competing forces of political, economic and cultural pandemic crisis on the one hand and extreme local diversity on the other hand.
Mankind has up to now never experienced such a strong impact on individual values.
In the International Bienalsur 2021, the artists are strongly committed to the subject matter, “we stay at home, we keep creating”. This attitude is represented in the title.

"Happiness and other Values”- part one with 4 Asian artists and part two with 4 German artists
The proposal is a brief selection of works which the UPdate GALLERY in Bonn would like to present in two separate exhibitions.
