23 July - 1 August 2021, Kapolcs, Kossuth utca 51

THE UNITY OF HOLARCHIC DOUBTS AND THE POSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE

Artpool Art Research Center / Museum of Fine Arts - alternative art presence

EXHIBITION EVENT OF AREA 51 (K51)

Artpool projects with a holonic character, arranged according to decades, with different documents specific to sites.

Artpool’s ‘holonic’ approach adopts Arthur Koestler’s theory.
According to this, in society every entity is a conscious and productive player that can be fitted into a natural hierarchy (holon).
It is not only mankind that appears as a subject
in this natural hierarchy but society too.
