In June 2017, Artists from Holland and Switzerland started in “Kunstraum Baden” (Switzerland) an international art project “Consideration of Values”, a project on tangible and intangible values. The idea is to invite artists to join an adventure trip in the world of art, a world without borders and where ID cards are not required. What is required is a genuine interest in searching for other perspectives and consideration of the world we’re living in and the will to exchange the experience with other artists.

In this exhibition is the principle of collecting a common aspect of the presented artworks. Ursula Palla collects thoughts and words in books and the associated libraries. Mark Vennegoor collects driftwood on the Danube, Szabolcs Süli-Zakar accumulates unused objects that lost their function and Zsófia Szemző tries to capture light in a prism to focus on a moment that will provide us a short experience of the unbearable lightness of being. Our society is based on the enormous collection of lived life, memories and relicts from the past. Why do people collect things? May be one reason is to mark our estate, interest and passion.
