In the midst. A four part digital exhibition highlighting artists in the midst of covid-19.
Suddenly, we are in isolation. We connect through our screens and our world turns out to be mostly digital. Artists of Galerie SANAA send in work they either made during this period of isolation or work they connected to these covid-19 times.
We connect to exchange whether we are ok, in the Netherlands and to overseas artists who experience the same pandemic in totally different societies. We decided to invite artists of Galerie SANAA to send in work they either made during this period of isolation or work they connected to these covid-19 times. To develop the first digital exhibition in 10 years, to connect through art and to give way to the imagination, the creativity – because this can not be locked down.
