2020 is a vision of the world a decade hence. Each artist, responding in their unique style, will present their vision, focused onto a 40 x 40 cm canvas but liberated by freedom of medium. These individual representations of the year 2020 as foreseen by a globally representative group promise to challenge your own notions of the world in 10 years time. 2020: perfect vision or shortsighted subjectivity…? Only time will tell, but come along and see how their vision compares to your expectations…
