The exhibition is born out of an attempt at tracing back a historical process – the local history of art, and gathering its many subplots in one story.
A collection of seemingly unrelated narrations – texts that help to explain the construction of the exhibition, at the same time addressing the connections between “the worlds of art”: art academies, the art market, privately-owned galleries, the artist – introduces divisions and shows discrepancies between different realities, not necessarily leading to a cohesive overall picture. The exhibition is a confrontation between art works as well as artistic individualities, which are sometimes poles apart, yet, they do meet in an act of communication with one another and with the audience.
