Dedications
The exhibition presents works by artists revealing the trajectories of their artistic inspirations in their art and commentaries. Works by artists who refer to the works of other creators offer insights into the fascination of previously created art. The idea of the project is to identify not entirely obvious continuities, continuations and contradictions in contemporary artistic practices, which take place on the ground of dialogues with the discovered and revived tradition, dialogues that are developed in reinterpretations and polemics. The project also shows how the referenced traditions function within contemporary cultural narratives, their social and political contexts. The individual works show the transformation of what was the impulse for their creation through other media and its update in the context of artistic contemporaneity.
