Abstract

Despite the overwhelming secularization of culture in the last century, the dialogue between the Church and contemporary art in Europe continues. The Catholic Church in Europe supports several art centers for contemporary art that stays in dialogue with Christianity. The ideology of such activities can be defined as a cautious attempt to introduce Christian discourse into the debates of the modern postsecular society. Since 2004 the author, a practicing artist, has been involved in some international projects of this kind, and in this essay he shares his experiences and thoughts.
