„BEING BOLD! means being cheeky, fly, fierce, intrepid, brash and brazen – it describes an attitude that many artistic pioneers can call their own: an attitude that’s an essential part of a good underground music scene.

BEING BOLD! presents artists and projects whose creativity lies in a personal, sometimes obsessive, eccentric or idiosyncratic and always remarkably enthusiastic attitude. A healthy distance to Zeitgeist and established scenes is part for the course. Our invited artists are never primarily concerned with discursive correctness but instead, with cultivating and exploring their individual vagaries, personal preferences and private fascinations. They are frequently outsiders that feel at home in the centrifugal fringes and niches of Pop culture, and have developed their work consistently and idiosyncratically, often cut off for long periods from other current trends. Accordingly, it’s work that can be difficult to access or hermetic, that creates its own metaphorical systems, loves all that is complicated, strange, quaint, bizarre, outlandish and informed by personal fantasy: it’s explicit, unabashed and intense.“
