During the pandemic, a global shift in values took place, which affected almost all fields of human activity. The new Aspan Gallery exhibition, the first in the gallery space in Almaty since the start of the pandemic, is rethinking the role of the artist and art in society. Does society expect activism or pure art from artists? Why do we need contemporary art? The exhibition presents various points of view of famous artists of Central Asia - both the older generation, who worked in the 1990s, and those who are creating now; alive and gone.
The exhibition does not try to give an exhaustive answer to the question about the role of the artist, but shows different positions. Despite the fact that the artist can have many roles and they can change with time, only one thing remains unchanged - the desire to create.
