Artists from Krakow: The Generation 1950–1969
The exhibition presents artists connected with Krakow born in the 1950s and 1960s. This is the third exhibition in the series inaugurated by MOCAK in October 2015. The goal of this series is to review art in the city which for centuries has been a capital of art.
Marian Eile Artist and Editor
The exhibition will have a number of thematic sections. The MOCAK Collection encompasses a few dozen of Eile’s paintings, thus our intention is to present the largest individual Eile retrospective ever. Painting was Eile’s private passion although he never promoted himself as a painter in his magazine.
Marcin Berdyszak Vicious Circles of Madness
The works of Marcin Berdyszak are tinged with existential unease about human fate being predetermined by our position in time and place as well as our station in life; we remain imprisoned in a vicious circle of which we are not entirely aware and that we cannot quite control.
Paweł Althamer, Artur Żmijewski The Ultimate Song
At the exhibition we present a selection of 20 collages created between 2017 and 2019. The collages are made of excerpts cut out from books – starting with Taschen’s erotic and pornographic publications, through nature and anatomical albums, to scientific atlases.
