به گزارش گالری آنلاین، این نمایشگاه، که شامل ساختمان سالن اصلی نمایشگاه، چهار مکان ماهواره‌ای و 9 غرفه ملی دیگر است، دیدگاهی جهانی و در عین حال محلی را در مورد معنای هنر در زمان تعصب، تقسیم و درگیری خودکار و افزایش یافته ما پیشنهاد می‌کند.

دوسالانه امسال با 79 هنرمند و گروه از کشورهای عمدتاً غیر غربی یا جهانی جنوبی، دیدگاهی از شیوه‌های هنری ارائه می‌دهد که توسط دیدگاه غربی و اروپامحور نادیده گرفته شده‌اند.
