Description: How do people living around the Baltic Sea view themselves? Residents of Tallinn, Szczecin, Scandinavians, Europeans, citizens of the world - how is the process of globalization changing these people's perception of their own cultural identity? This publication brings together artists from the countries in the Baltic Sea region whose works address these questions. The spectrum is broad and multifaceted, disparate perspectives opening up in extraordinary works. 'Connected by Art' is conceived as a creative experimental set-up in which art, science and the public are actors in a vibrant exchange designed to inspire a reconsideration of individual cultural identity. The artworks presented visualize thought models and convey reflections that are also being explored by the International Research Training Group Baltic Borderlands at the University of Greifswald. 0Exhibition: Staatliches Museum Schwerin, Germany (15.6.-16.9.2012) / National Gallery of Art, Vilnius, Lithuania (Spring 2013).
Notes: Catalog of exhibition held at Staatliches Museum Schwerin, June 15-Sep. 16, 2012.
