VISION

HISTORY SHOWS THAT ART MOVEMENTS ARE NOT ISOLATED EVENTS BUT REFLECTIONS OF THEIR TIME—MIRRORS OF SOCIETY'S EVOLVING PERSPECTIVES AND VALUES. FROM THE IDEALISM OF THE RENAISSANCE TO THE CHAOS OF DADAISM, EACH SHIFT SPEAKS TO HOW HUMANITY SAW ITSELF AND THE WORLD IN A GIVEN ERA.

THIS BEGS THE QUESTION: HOW DO WE SEE TODAY? IN A WORLD OF RAPID CHANGE AND OVERWHELMING INFORMATION, CAN WE EVEN DEFINE A SINGLE PERSPECTIVE? THE UNCERTAINTY LIES IN THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR CONTEXT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY THE LENS THROUGH WHICH WE, AS A SOCIETY, VIEW OUR EXISTENCE.

PERHAPS ART WILL PROVIDE THE ANSWER IN TIME, JUST AS IT ALWAYS HAS—CAPTURING NOT ONLY WHAT WE UNDERSTAND BUT ALSO WHAT WE HAVE YET TO FULLY COMPREHEND.
