From cave paintings and church frescoes to NFTs, there has always been a connection between art and faith. Today, some people claim that art has replaced religion. At the museums of the former Ittingen Charterhouse, we are fortunate enough to find both. The exhibition ‘Believing in Art’ presents contemporary art that engages with this tension. While Christian art was intended to reinforce people’s faith through imagery, in the 20th century, the role of art evolved to represent doubt, questioning and nuance rather than faith. Contemporary art sheds a particularly critical light on the potential of art to blur the line between fact and fiction. Art is free to open wide the doors of the imagination, for it is, by definition, a space of freedom. Thus, the exhibition also highlights the fact that art possesses a unique power and significance, which no other discipline can match. One may occasionally ask what relevance art has in light of the state of the world. The answer lies not least in a belief in its power to inspire. Art opens up new spaces and creates alternative realities. We could do things differently: with more colour, variety and wisdom, by asking questions rather than making assertions, and by searching for meaning rather than mere purpose.
