The interactive exhibition Connected at Frank Taal Galerie invites us to rethink our connections with each other and art.
New forms of communication make it easier than ever to maintain contact, regardless of physical distance. Yet contemporary society seems increasingly divided, with personal contact slowly disappearing. The shift to digital interaction can limit spontaneous encounters and increase the feeling of isolation.
The artists in Connected all work with the theme of connection, each from a unique perspective. Their works offer perspectives on possible connections in contemporary society. This concept is reinforced by the exhibition layout, which makes the connection experience tangible. For this purpose, the gallery is divided into a space of contact and isolation, each with its own rules and a contrasting atmosphere. In this way, visitors are challenged to connect with the work and each other in new ways.
