Exhibition Program “3331 Independents”

An Exhibition Rich in Free Ideas and Energy

An “independent” open call exhibition is one which presents work without a selection panel and without hierarchy. Here at 3331 we not only present an exhibition but also provide the opportunity to engage in heated discussion between guest commentators and participating artists in the form of a 5 hour open critique session generating encounters and dialogue between viewers and participants.
