The world is on the move, driven by the idea that life is better elsewhere. Some people leave their homes in search of education, work, or a better future. Others travel out of curiosity, a thirst for adventure, or a desire to contribute to a better world.

At the exhibition "The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side", 36 artists aged between 25 and 45 explored how small states present themselves, whether they can serve as models, and what effects migration and tourism have. The exhibition aimed to draw a critical comparison between these small states while seeking out their inspiring and distinctive qualities.

THE ARTISTS 36 artists from Liechtenstein, Iceland, Luxembourg, and Montenegro examined the reality of small European states and how they are perceived from the outside.
