Forever Temporary
The exhibition Forever Temporary is a dialogue between art history and the present, between then and now, between this and that. What does art history reveal about artworks and their viewers when we see it not merely as a succession of styles or eras, but as humanity’s ongoing effort to understand itself in the world? Each period brings its own context and visual language, yet all share a common thread: timeless existential questions around which creativity unfolds.
Spanning from the late Middle Ages to contemporary art, the exhibition does not aim to trace the linear development of art history. Instead, it unfolds through thematic sections dedicated to questions that remain essential to human existence, all woven together by the theme of time.
Past, present, and future form the backbone of the exhibition, shaping a narrative about how we interpret our place and actions in the world. How do we define identity? How do we grapple with the inexplicable? How do we love, what do we fear, why do we work, and what do we hope for? Sometimes the answers are shaped by cultural experience – distinct in each era and not always immediately recognizable today. At other times, they are instinctive responses, universal across time.
The exhibition’s narrative finds common ground in the differences between eras, experiences, and perspectives. What time divides, eternal questions unite.
