The exhibition "EXCEPTIONALITIES: Contemporary Aspects of Cultural Heritage/The New Trends of the Future Permanent Exhibition" was staged in honour of the tenth anniversary of The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska, marked on 10 February.

It included a selection of works from the collection of the Museum purchased or received as gifts in the period from 2004 to 2014.The intention of the Museum was to use this exhibition to suggest possible guidelines for the kind of dialogue that would underscore the need for museums to purchase works of art, as well as some ways in which contemporary art and the special media it uses, such as videos, installations, performances and objects combining a range of materials, can be preserved as permanent cultural heritage.

The concept of the exhibition, in addition to focusing on the few purchases and gifts of the last ten years, aimed to offer a broader view of art trends in the 1990’s and the period after 2000, when an engrossing, dynamic, new art scene emerged locally.

The exhibition was a clear response of contemporary art to the time in which it was created and singled out the works by those artists who have proven to be in sync with the ideological, economic and social changes experienced in the last twenty years.

The exhibition presented works by 32 artists belonging to different generations and created using various media and along different conceptual directions. The pluralism of their stances included those grounded in the educational postulates of the former Yugoslavia as well as the long period of economic transition separating the 1990’s art from that created in the aftermath of 2000, when intimacy and privacy prevailed over the context of public engagement and signification.
