Maybe so. But you won´t find there an Arabian Jeff Koons, a Gerhard Richter or an Andy Warhol. The exhibited pieces are very rough, many drawings reminded me of works we did in my school days. Apparently, the participating artists didn´t have the opportunity to visit fancy art schools and universities. Apparently, they didn`t enjoy much artistic education and guidance.
The show @ the New Museum is more like a collection of political statements than a traditional art show. Many pictures and videos report about the daily terror, the war and the threat by islamic fundamentalists.
There is a table with a collections of sheets, which deal mostly with the repression of women by islamic fundamentalists.
The exhibition runs through September 28, 2014.
