#3 Transforming of Symbols
The category of symbol and working with the symbol is elusive, a purely sophisticated way of categorization from the point of view of art history and art criticism. For that reason, the selection of authors is even more relative than with the previous themes. Moreover, while some of the artists we have selected have worked with symbol throughout their career, with others in some stages of their work we could speak rather of subjective documentary, conceptualism, minimalism, or even other things.

Sidsel Meineche Hansen

One hot summer day, I happened to reach for H. G. Wells’s 1923 novel Men Like Gods. In it, Wells presents his idea of the world of Utopia. People here are precisely carved castings of ancient deities representing the ideal potential development of our society at some point millenia in the future…
