election results

We would like to emphasize that no competition is involved, when we ask the audience to cast their vote. We consider the vote as a small moral support for the artists involved. It is used to stimulate interaction at presentations.

The choice of the audience is far most based on seeing the painting and hearing the story that comes along with it.

Only at about half of the exhibitions we have used the option to use voting ballots.

Full exhibition list

850 presentations to approximately 16.000 people since 2007 at the Inkijkmuseum in Eindhoven, the public storage of the mobile global exhibition Show Your Hope
