The works from the MORE OR LESS exhibition have the intent on reflecting and defying upon the conventional wisdom of value, human behavior, traditions and material status. The pieces question the definition of perfection, what is `correct´ and convention of taste. Turning architect Mies van der Rohe’s mantra `Less is More´ upside down into `More or Less´. It all depends on the eye of the beholder.
