The Social Art Award 2017

Can art change the world?

Under this question, the Institute for Art and Innovation e.V. had launched the first Social Art Award in 2017. Artists and cultural actors of all areas were invited to apply with their work to the field of social art. Artists from 131 countries responded with extraordinary works and projects.

On September 5, 2017, the three winners Lino Tonelotto from France, Quek Jia Qi from Singapore and Diogo da Cruz from Portugal were honored, and exhibited at WHITECONCEPTS Gallery in Berlin. They demonstrated with their politically engaged works that art can make current events visible and tangible. This is an important understanding for bringing forward the debate and thus a social change.

My doublesided linocut print OPEN TABLE CARD is meant to facilitate finding a seat or even company in cafés and restaurants. Often tables are occupied just by single persons. Places who join my project make the cards and info about them available to those clients who are willing to offer a seat to incoming new clients by setting up the card on their table.
