Exhibition B for Baroque
Brief description of the project
Our knowledge of the Baroque will always remain fragmented. Uncertainties in its periodisation, definition and regional variations in the history of the Baroque have stimulated a desire to understand the Baroque as a global cultural phenomenon of the 17th–18th centuries, disregarding borders as much as possible, catching sight of the forgotten looking from unusual angles, searching for contexts, listening to alternative views, creating one’s own version of what the Baroque is. We can hear the alarm bells and the pleas for the security of the Baroque era. Looking at the similarities between the events of the Baroque period and today's global society, the question of history possibly repeating itself is also raised. The exhibition design uses means of exposure characteristic of the Baroque — movement, multimodality, functionality of emotions, theatricality and spatial irregularity
