Live is Life

This exhibition borrows its title from the 1984 song Live is Life by Austrian one-hit wonders Opus.

The song is notable for the kind of crazed optimism that characterised the era in which it was released, says professor in Fine Arts Annika Eriksson, who is also the curator and principal supervisor for the exhibition.
