From September onwards, it will revolve around repetition of shapes, order, rhythm and tight patterns. That seems boring and monotonous. The group exhibition Repeat 2.0. Repetition makes perfect (part 4), however, proves the opposite. It shows that this kind of repetition can lead to beauty. And even to innovation.
