| About us | |
Hardcore Art Contemporary Space (HACS) has a huge space of 6,250 square feet dedicated to contemporary projects and cutting edge artists. The gallery took its name based on the new aesthetic ‘hardcore’ category in contemporary art that Jerome Sans, curator and former director of Palais de Tokio (2003) pointed out as: "art towards a new activism". ‘Hardcore Art’ questions our current times of violence. It explores critical issues on religion, politics, and society. ‘Hardcore Art’ applies to the way the artists infiltrate reality. The hardcore scene in general is both anti-establishment and specifically political. Hardcore Art Contemporary Space focuses on projects and proposals aligned into this category, where artists often adopt extreme positions, play on limits, and greatly increase art's polemical charge and its impact on society. We believe that Hardcore Contemporary Art builds a bridge between art and life, transcending art as an institution of power. HACS proposes shows of trans-objective positions, in which art is presented as a self-reflecting phenomenon, which uses its own means to examine social and cultural new paradigms, in the context of our virtual and multimedia society.
