The Phenomenology of the Contemporary Archetypal Image is the title of the exhibition opened in the lobby of the National History Museum, curated by the historian and art critic Ph.D. Oltsen Gripshi.

The exhibition brings together the 10 most renowned artists of contemporary art between Albania and Austria, where the visual language with which they present themselves to the Albanian public is both diverse in terms of the techniques used and comprehensive in terms of the topics covered.

On this occasion, the curator of the exhibition, Oltsen Gripshi expressed his thanks and gratitude to all the participating artists, collaborators, supporters of this project, while among other things, he emphasized that this exhibition wants to convey multiple messages to the public.

  “Never before has the relationship between man and nature become such a central issue than in the creativity of artists. In this exhibition we will see that the artists base their artistic and philosophical-conceptual research on the discovery of the relationship between man and nature. It goes without saying, where a reflection on the human being opens, art always comes into play, as a dimension through which the human being is separated from reality, sailing the shores of imagination. However, it would be a mistake to think that art is only now beginning to deal with the natural world, with the inherent essence of its very existence, establishing it as an artistic object. On the contrary, it can be said that since its inception there has always been a very close relationship between art and nature,” said Gripshi.

The manager of the artistic project Karl Bauer in his welcoming speech said to be very happy, to have accepted the invitation to be part of this project that brings together a group of very talented and so diverse artists, in terms of artistic expression in an exhibition about contemporary art today.

This exhibition was realized thanks to the cooperation of the Embassy of Austria in Albania, the Ministry of Culture and the National History Museum.
