Opis

“Appropriation” – Whitechapel Gallery is a concept related to contemporary art and the practice of taking, reusing, and transforming existing images, objects, symbols, or cultural materials to create new meanings. Whitechapel Gallery in London is an important institution for modern and contemporary art, known for presenting exhibitions that explore major artistic movements and ideas.

The term “appropriation” in art refers to the intentional use of something that already exists in culture. Artists may take photographs, advertisements, famous artworks, popular images, or everyday objects and place them into a new context. The purpose is not simply to copy, but to question ideas of originality, authorship, ownership, and the way people understand visual culture.
