In the nineteenth century, the Paris Salon was still a plinth-to-ceiling exhibition of the Académie des beaux-arts and had a turbulent history of bribes, corruption and conservative art ideas. The Salon had a monopoly position in the world of art at the time but lost it when the alternative 'Salon des lndépendants' became an example for organizations of artists who turned against the academic art business. The privatization of the art market was a fact.

History will not repeat itself and (hopefully) does not take bribes, but the representation of plinth and ceiling was still very attractive. An idea that formed the basis for a vibrant and diverse show with photos, collages, work on paper, paintings and sculpture. For an exhibition with a wide variety of topics and themes. And, not unimportantly, at an affordable price.

Around thirty artists from the neighborhood and various friends and acquaintances of Kunst Kan... show work in this wonderful event that will be the start of a new year.

 

A year with many new and surprising exhibitions.
