Populism Artists

POPULISM includes new works and projects by around 40 international artists and artist groups, bringing together challenging works in a multitude of artistic strategies.


The exhibition does not aim to illustrate its theme through “populist art”. Instead, the invited artists deal in different ways with populist sentiments and ideologies of our time, through sub-themes such as: the mass media projection of politics; market populism and the cultural industries; group and corporate identities; representations and spaces of “the people”; law, order and security; religious and moral controversy; nationalism and xenophobia. While some artists strive to find positive populisms beyond demagogy and give a voice to the dispossessed, others explore alternative strategies of representation and organisation as a critique of the populist promise.
