"Entering the exhibition The Sky Is Turning feels like taking a step into your own thoughts at the moment when they refuse to be obedient. Occupying the entire gallery space of the Museum, it features about thirty works from its collection – from miniature reliefs and drawings to as previously unexhibited installations – along with the works of five invited artists. Traditional and experimental techniques are combined here with unconventional and unstable materials: salt, hair, leather, sand… Traditional strongholds lose their relevance, and what we usually sweep under the rug is brought to the foreground: contradictory impulses, fears, and desires that both drive and unsettle us. The belief in the economic growth, rational subject and language as a tool of clarity, has been called into question, as evidenced by our time of accelerating crises. (...)"
