Art in Our Age is a project designed to domesticate contemporary art and highlight its connections to everyday life. To date, it has included two exhibitions and a publication titled Art in Our Age: a collection of responses to fundamental art-related questions, drafted by curators, artists, and art critics. The exhibition at BWA Tarnów was an opportunity to recapitulate tropes explored in earlier project editions.

 

The exhibition showed a cinematographic narrative in five chapters. The video focuses on essential matters connected with the functioning and use of art in the contemporary world: from deliberations on the status of artists and appraisals of the diverse ways of interpreting their work, through the depiction of art as a source of inspiration for daily activities. The video material was supplemented by two display cabinets referencing the metaphor of an artwork as the cover of a book concealing a multifaceted tale.

 

The Art in Our Age project was organised to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the ING Polish Art Foundation, as an outcome of Rafał Dominik and Szymon Żydek’s collaboration with the joint team of the ING Polish Art Foundation and Zachęta – National Gallery of Art.
