Allard van Hoorn (Leiden, 1968 - lives in Barcelona) creates a visual language made of signs, symbols and demarcations that indicate alternative routes in contemporary society. It is a visual code he co-develops with people he works with in all parts of the world and, specifically, in local communities. His complete body of work is aimed at assisting mankind in obtaining another way of looking and seeing, discovering that we now have the option to make it work for all of humanity.
His work has appeared in publications such as the book "On Barcelona", in the streets and in exhibition venues like the Stedelijk Museum CS in Amsterdam in November 2005 and CCCB in Barcelona in 2003. He has intervened with special projects during Venice Biennials in 2003 and 2005.
