RES PUBLICA
Moscow Museum of Modern Art
September 7 – October 17, 2010
‘RES PUBLICA’ exhibition based on the collection of the National Center for Visual Arts of France presents works by artists who comprehend art as the space of thought and reflect upon the surrounding social and political reality, as well as our relations with the world. Its title refers to the Latin term ‘res publica’, or ‘common business’, or ‘people’s business’, which in antiquity meant the highest value of social importance and became the basis for contemporary concept of the state and, in a more narrow context, the notion of a republic. ‘RES PUBLICA’ exhibition offers an approach to art as ‘common business’ and presents a sort of public space where artists share their views of the surrounding world and its structure, of man and society, of coexistence and shared life, and find adequate artistic forms of expression.
