The Goethe Institute presents its project entitled The Border and curated by Inke Arns and Thibaut de Ruyter. The project has been organized in collaboration with partners fr om Eastern Europe, Germany and Central Asia under the friendly support of the Foreign Ministry of Germany.

Wh ere does Europe end and Asia begin? What is the influence of borders and who draws them? The exhibition “The Border” studies and analyses borders as  territorial isolations or on the contrary accessions, as cultural or social barriers, as an instrument separating “us” from the “others”.  The “red line” here is a geographical and cultural border between Europe and Asia. The artists involved in the project are approaching the theme extending the scope of the political and economical and focus on cultural, artistic, personal and humorous aspects.
