به گزارش گالري آنلاين، اين نمايشگاه، که شامل ساختمان سالن اصلي نمايشگاه، چهار مکان ماهوارهاي و 9 غرفه ملي ديگر است، ديدگاهي جهاني و در عين حال محلي را در مورد معناي هنر در زمان تعصب، تقسيم و درگيري خودکار و افزايش يافته ما پيشنهاد ميکند.
دوسالانه امسال با 79 هنرمند و گروه از کشورهاي عمدتاً غير غربي يا جهاني جنوبي، ديدگاهي از شيوههاي هنري ارائه ميدهد که توسط ديدگاه غربي و اروپامحور ناديده گرفته شدهاند.
