This exhibition features a newer section of the constantly expanding contemporary art collection of the Zachęta Lower Silesian Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts. This year’s selection covers an area that has gradually been more and more emphasised in 21st-century art - the environment and how we relate to it. The subject of human interference and the fate of our planet is something that is now tangeable in all aspects of life, and, within art, it has manifested questions about the purpose of creating works in the context of the further existence of the world. This thought is based on principles such as the importance of seeking harmony with nature and the awareness of Earth’s diminishing resources.
