Amazing citizens in civil wars

Future generations will consider the fall of the Berlin Wall as the true beginning of a new European migration of the peoples. Europe s powerful attraction to the world is fed by its attractive social system and its low birth rate.

Europe is becoming a melting pot of a new global future. Driven by cultural and political innovation, people try out new concepts of social life and interaction.

From Africa and Asia they pour into Europe and come in as new citizens of this world. Globalization makes any war a civil war! Whether in Africa, Asia, the Middle East or right at our doorstep on Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona, everywhere amazing young citizens call for equitable access to the worlds resources.

The intelligence of the swarm will indicate the direction and it is always the right one. Let us listen to the wisdom of the crowds. Now.

Let us have a new look back at the first series in the social art project ARTSURPRISE.
This was the second series with the theme "Amazing Citizens in Civil Wars" and there were several reasons for creating this edition.
On the one hand, in the first few years, several vending machines had to be stocked after a short period of time and there was a great need for works of art for these new locations. On the other hand, we noticed a strong positive emotional reaction in the moments when customers purchased this art. And we explained this with the nature of these works. The faces were basically emotionless, i.e. they did not suggest any specific emotion. This probably offered the opportunity to have one's own current emotions reflected in the moment of viewing the work. There was another reason that was very important in retrospect and closely linked to the actual intention of the whole project. The integration of knowledge from industry and logistics into the production of contemporary art should also bring out new aspects of this contemporary art. The credo: produce unique pieces in series by choosing the materials and the process. The aim was to ultimately create an adequate offering for the art market. Similar to Warhol's factory, the CASAdelDRAGON was the breeding ground for this new art. And so this series was also proof of concept for the plan to produce unique pieces in series.
