How do artists experience and address beauty at present? Has the notion of beauty vanished completely from artistic discourse? Are ornaments still allowed? What does a contemporary ornament look like? In the exhibition Ornament & Beauty, mounted at Titanik Gallery (5–29 May 2016) in connection with the conference Art Approaching Science and Religion, 12–13 May 2016, the artists intended to comment on questions such as those in the texts published here and through the art works presented.
