Are art and science truly two separate worlds, or simply two different methods of observing the same reality? The Palace of Science is launching an exhibition cycle titled “Hypothesis,” transforming the Counter Hall into a meeting place for the artistic and scientific worldviews. The first exhibition in the series, “Null Hypothesis,” starts from the assumption that there is no connection between science and art — only to argue convincingly against it, through the works of three artists.

Ivan Šuletić explores how technology constructs our perception. His canvases are a space where digital speed meets the slowness of painting. Marko Marković deconstructs the Renaissance ideal of harmony and applies it to fragments of Nikola Dobrović’s architecture. For him, sculpture is not a fixed mass, but a system that can be taken apart, analyzed, and reconnected. Nemanja Nikolić transforms landscape into a visual construct through a dialogue with Malevich’s “Black Square.” His works explore how framing shapes the way we experience nature.
Through “Hypothesis,” the Palace of Science supports works that have a deep theoretical foundation and that compel us to view the world analytically, just as scientists do. The null hypothesis states: there is no connection between art and science. Come and help us disprove it.
Admission is free.
