The group exhibition COMBINED derives its ideas and aims from the different meanings of the specific word, such as to add together, to come together, to unite in order to have an effect, while it activates every form of combinatorial reasoning. The connotations of the word COMBINED are closely related, metaphorically and literally, to the worldwide political instability and crisis of the present years. The artworks expose the ways in which the financial and political crisis mechanisms divert our attention away from the devastating effects of environmental destruction, as well as the operational modes of capitalism. In addition, multiculturalism, the systematic support of actions related to both visible and invisible divisions, intolerance, misinformation and the violation of human rights are examined.
