In reflecting on the various popularizing and updating strategies for visual art, the exhibition combines artworks from the Lewben Art Foundation collection with sound art and the music industry, which society associates with popularity more often than it does visual art. Thus, Lithuania’s musicians, composers and sound artists representing various musical styles were invited to participate in the exhibition.
The “COLLECTING HITS” exhibition does not provide any answers, solve problems, or draw conclusions. It raises questions, puts forward hypotheses, perceives and contemplates situations and meanings of the phenomena of popularity in art by using various artworks and specially created soundtracks of various periods and media. In other words, the exhibition is the moderator of a discussion on popularity.
