Spaces of Culture

‘Balconnection’ uses the private-public space of balconies to create higher visibility for artworks and artists, while at the same time broadening access to art for audiences. The project is focusing on areas away from the museum centers, using balconies as art spaces. ‘Balconnection’ considers art as a public right and necessity, and is convinced of its positive impact on society. Once the consciousness is infused by art, it will generate momentum to tackle other social issues, such as improving living conditions in marginalized areas. With this vision, ‘Balconnection’ sets an example by creating a bridge between artists and societies.
