Janina Turek Life Recorded in 745 Notebooks
Janina Turek was born in Krakow in 1921 and died there in 2000. Yet for 57 years – in secret from her loved ones – she kept a diary. The object of her observations was everyday life. The core of the exhibition will be a presentation of her notebooks from the MOCAK Collection.
Politics in Art
In the past, art served the purpose of bolstering political power –today it is a tool for questioning and holding authority to account. Once, artists used their talent to support the political system of the day. Today, they have become perspicacious and critical observers of the political scene and are active participants in opposition.
Maks Levin, War Correspondent

Mieczysław Porębski: Portrait of the Master
On the tenth anniversary of the death of Mieczysław Porębski, the MOCAK Library will host a display of photographs and portraits of this outstanding theoretician, critic and art historian.
Dialogue with the Space
Works in which the relationship with the surroundings they are in plays a significant role and provides a semantic clinch are usually called installations. Artists employ the exhibition space available or design it themselves.
Contemporary Models of Realism
Contemporary art has crossed another linguistic frontier of realistic representation. The works presented here employ realistic language to take on board everything that matters in today’s world.
Stanisław Dróżdż Concept-Shapes
The artist called his works Concept-Shapes. He sometimes invested works and punctuation marks with a spatial form, combining an intellectual experience with that of the senses, thus revealing the diffusion of the two.
