Natural Resources. Works From The Collection Of The Zach臋ta Lower Silesian Society For The Encouragement Of Fine Arts
The exhibition entitled "Natural Resources" presents selected works from the collection of the Zach臋ta Lower Silesian Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts. The latest acquisitions are shown alongside over a dozen works of art selected from this extensive collection. The starting point for the development of the exhibition concept was the notion of a collection approached as a common resource.
On the brink of a global crisis, which heralds the inevitable costs and redefinitions, resources become a special focus of attention in virtually all areas of life. Realising the current situation compels us to turn to the potential offered by nature, which has been threatened by overexploitation, as well as to the signals encoded in the current pattern of culture. When our contact with nature was severely limited during the lockdown, our use of cultural resources intensified. Sealed for sanitary reasons, institutions made their collections available on the Internet; the resources of museums, galleries, and even the interior of the Cheops pyramid could be freely accessed. Internet memes created by the isolated consumers and creators of contemporary culture turned out to be hugely popular. One of them, shared surprisingly often, reminded us that irrespective of whether we were reading a book, watching Netflix, listening to music or visiting a virtual museum, we owed it to the creators. An obvious observation that took on a new meaning in the new circumstances.
