ROOM 1 features five successive performance-based exhibitions by artists who cross and confound genres: works range from pop music acts and graphic installations to fashion remixing and large media art installations. During the exhibition, they create live installations, performances, workshops and active exchange with the audience. Each of these presentations develops over a one-week to three-week cycle:
