The Middle Ages were interested in eternity, the Renaissance in the past, modernism in the future.
Our era is mostly fixated on itself. The rapid multiplication of contemporary art museums around
the world is only one, but very noticeable symptom of this acute interest in our "here and now".
At the same time, it is evidence of a widespread feeling that we do not know our modernity.
It is not the future that surprises us – we are much more surprised at our own time, which seems
strange and inexplicable to us. Colliding on the same plane, heterogeneous forms, materials,
messages, freeze in an amazing coincidence, in which they are united by only one thing:
they all found a place here and now, in our time, acquiring new, previously hidden meanings.
