The Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (CANU) organized, on the occasion of 10 years since the restoration of the independence of Montenegro and 45 years of the existence of this institution, the exhibition "Artists of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts".
The exhibition was officially opened the night before yesterday at the Center of Contemporary Art of Montenegro, in the Petrović Castle in Kruševac.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see an extraordinary display of works by renowned artists, including Miodrag Dado Đurić, Branko Filipović Filo, Vuko Radović, Luka Tomanović, Dušan Vukotić Vud, Aleksandar Prijić, Miloš Vušković, Vojislav Vojo Stanić, Anka Burić, Dragan Karadžić, Pavle Pejović, Dimitrije Popović, Tome Serafimovski and Petar Omčikus.
The president of CANU, Dragan Vukčević, said that this exhibition is a praise of spirituality, and that the role of art and artists in shaping the spirituality of Montenegro is great, significant and lasting.
"In moments like this, it becomes clear that the state is not only territory, population and government, but something that could be called its idea is attached to that visible part. The publication of that idea over time is the spirituality of a society and its state. That spirituality is shaped by institutions, among of which the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts is one of the most important," Vukčević pointed out.
He believes that a great contribution to the identity of Montenegro was made by Montenegrin artists, as well as those who are outside our country, and who, according to him, do honor to the Montenegrin Academy and Montenegro.
"As it happens with gifted people, they are distinguished by their story, which we call poetics. The greatest among them, with these poetics, tell about the same thing, but they do not tell the same thing. They tell about the fact that we did not enter this world to receive and to take, but to give and we create. This maintains what is not only the identity but also the continuity of a society of its people and state," Vukčević concluded.
