Der rote Faden – the theme of contemporary jewellery held by the ALIEN Art Centre for the artist – Franz Bette. The phrase Der rote Faden has meaning for artists who try to use the "value" of art to stimulate our minds, and then let such speculations produce qualitative changes.

Perhaps we can re-explore and reflect through this Franz Bette solo exhibition.

However, on this weekend afternoon, we have the opportunity to slow down the pace, to participate in Juan I-Jong’s talk.
