urban / theme

The grime of the pavement rather than the dirt of the earth. Space is parceled by soaring skyscrapers, not farm plots. Indeed, the urban enjoys a densely punctuated space which is attended by a sense of urgency coupled with an anonymity which births a claim to knowing - what, precisely, remains a mystery.

Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.
