Acquisitions at MSUCG Gallery: Art That Forces Us to Question Our Society
Last night in Podgorica, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro (MSUCG) proudly opened its new acquisitions exhibition. But this isn’t just another art event — it’s a wake-up call for empathy, solidarity, and humanity in times when we need them the most.
What Are Acquisitions and Why Do They Matter?
Acquisitions are newly purchased or donated artworks that become part of the museum’s permanent collection. Curators Biljana Keković and Nikolina Zuber emphasize that the selection process is carefully managed to affirm contemporary art as a vital part of Montenegro’s cultural identity.
Art as a Mirror to Society
The exhibition features works by artists from Montenegro, the region, and around the world. Their diverse approaches explore social relations and cultural changes. From classic painting to digital installations and performances, contemporary art opens new ways to interpret and actively engage the audience.
Values We’re Missing
In a time of global challenges, the artworks call for empathy, solidarity, and humanism — values more necessary now than ever. Keković highlights that museums are not just guardians of the past but active participants in shaping the future.
Who Are the Artists?
The exhibition includes works by renowned artists such as Aleksandar Đuravčević, Laibach, Šejla Kamerić, Lazar Pejović, Srđa Dragović, and many others. Their pieces reflect different perspectives and critical views of the world around us.
Why Should We Care?
In an era of crises, art reminds us what makes us human — the ability to empathize, connect, and fight for a better tomorrow. This exhibition is not just for art connoisseurs but for anyone who wants to understand the world we live in.
Conclusion
MSUCG’s acquisitions prove that art is not a luxury but a necessity. Join the conversation, visit the exhibition, and think about what role art plays in our society. Maybe it’s time for you to share your thoughts because art is here to move us, not leave us indifferent.
