Summary/Abstract: In the article the author considers the method of problem exhibition’s construction from the perspective of the anthropology of art. This viewpoint prompts approaching the work of art as a manifestation of cultural practices. The constructions created and presented by means of these practices may remain just practices - performative activities, or may become permanent creations such as: painting, sculpture, aesthetically shaped body or space.Dionysos – The Contemporary View of Myth which was presented in The City Art Gallery in Częstochowa (2014; 2017) and Bodenseekreis Gallery in Meersburg (2017) provided an example for the author.
