The exhibition features a selection of Indonesian artists that focus on exploring the mechanisms of collective consumerism, dissecting the relations and the values that bound modern society to the fetish idolatry of the brand, therefore enacting both cultural and human short-circuit.It aims to create a place where one can experience the "Other" and "Elsewhere", a place where, through visual arts, visitors can understand the logic and dynamics that are shaping the face of Asia today.
