Conceptual Art Exhibitions as a Dialogue between Art and Its Contemporaries 

(Based on the Study of Exhibition Practice in the Altai Territory  

in Siberia around the Turn of the 21

st

 Century) 

 

(Abstract) 

 

This article discusses the role of private art galleries in the conceptual organisation of 

exhibitions in the Siberian region. It describes specific art exhibitions, held in the late 20

th

-

early 21

st

 century in the territories of Siberia and Altai, presenting the typology of 

exhibitions as well as underlining their concepts and innovative features. 

The study’s objectives are to show the interaction of fine art, everyday life and 

everyday consciousness, applying assumptions that have been developed in cultural studies, 

aesthetics and art criticism to the analysis of exhibition activity in capital cities and regions. 

The study takes art exhibitions as a source for analysing the interaction of art, everyday life 

and everyday consciousness, specifically exploring conceptual exhibitions held in Altai 

around the turn of the 21

st

 century. 

Based on specialist academic literature on this topic, as well as the study of 

exhibition practice in the territories of Altai and Siberia, the author offers the following 

conclusions: 

1. Artistic life is characterised by a nonlinear development, accompanied by periods 

of decline and activity; 

2. Artistic life is a reflection of the cultural life of society and an important 

condition for its development; 

3. Interaction between everyday consciousness and art enhances social and cultural 

dynamics; culture expands the creative potential of the society; 

4. Creativity and perception of art at exhibitions contribute to society, going beyond 

the boundaries of ordinary consciousness; 

5. Exhibition experiences show that the harmonious development of artistic culture 

requires a synthesis of traditions and innovations, professional and folk art. This synthesis 

provides a multilevel artistic consciousness; 

6. New divergent points-of-view are currently being formed in the public mind 

concerning exhibitions and curators of exhibitions.
