The exhibition presents key works by leading artists whose practices have shaped contemporary art over the past two decades. Described by Perić as ‘popular conceptual art,’ the throughline in the show, as in the collection, is a technical and intellectual rigour in works by artists who blend material experimentation with critical inquiry into experiences of identity and modern life.
The Perić Collection is resolutely international and purposeful, intending to create a body of work with lasting positive cultural impact. Guided by his conviction that art can be both accessible and conceptually exacting, Perić’s collection of ‘popular conceptual art’ draws on the history of art while engaging the vernacular of popular culture. The result is a collection that invites layered entry: immediately legible to the passerby and inexhaustible to the close reader, underpinned by a belief in art’s power to generate encounters that are at once immediate and enduring.
