Exposition Low Budget - High Class

Times of crisis and less consuming. The current financial situation forces everyone to be more careful with their finances. Various taxes are being raised and social provisions get more expensive. Art subsidies are being forced to stop and the art-world gets heavy loaded with pressure. How will we deal with this? How can we make sure that quality won’t suffer from the current crisis? It takes a great amount of flexibility and a new creative way of thinking.
