The idea for the exhibition project “Landscape” arose more than a year ago on the basis of a more traditional conception of the topic, a phenomenon deeply rooted in art history. It begins from the assumption that each artist must grapple with landscape at certain moments in the creative process. The artist attempts, for example, to faithfully render the landscape, or the landscape becoming, rather, a material and a process, capturing the impressions of the landscape. Otherwise the artist refers to its historical, mythological character and reviews landscape as memory, during which the artist very often responds to its sacred dimension. Landscape is also manipulated for the purpose of creating a coherent, new kind of nature; last but not least, landscape itself also becomes a location for creativity.
