The concepts of desire and of democracy lie within the field of the foundation's interests. Throughout a variety of artistic and societally-engaged activities, the foundation seeks to realize the ideal of openness to others. The desire of democracy arises in a society as a result of the pursuit of equality, justice and freedom.

The exhibition — within the obvious limits — is an attempt to illustrate the complex links between art and democracy. The changing course of history defines their mutual dependence in many ways but the defense of democratic values ​​as well as the criticism of any new threats are always very important to the artists.
