The exhibition presents works which relate to urban myths – the artists create brand-new urban myths or transform familiar ones. What all have in common is that they deal with tales which are as incredible as they are disturbing; they carry a warning and a message. The works we present follow the conventions of the comic strip, with their characteristicly strong story line.
