A project organised by ArtAids with the participation of twenty artists from Barcelona or with a special link to the city. The project is driven by a desire to increase awareness of the need for prevention and to reflect on the feelings of people living with HIV. The curator of the exhibition, Miquel Bardagil, sees it as the culmination of a project that began in 2008 and encompasses a very wide range of activities, some in collaboration with other institutions. In general, most of the artists participating in the project had not previously worked with the subject of Aids in any significant way, and thus the exhibition avoids predictable approaches and opens up new ways of seeing.

Visitors of the event Ontwikkelingssamenwerking.nu will be able to see one of Adriana Bertini’s ‘condom dresses’ and Cover, the series of photographs by Viviane Sassen and Martine Stig, commissioned by ArtAids. Ontwikkelingssamenwerking.nu is initiated by Bert Koenders, the Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation. The event will take place on September 26, 2009 in the Fokker [...]
