An Unprinted Story
On 18 May, during the opening of the new exhibitions and the Night at the Museums, visitors made a mural – together with the artist Artur Wabik – which showed a diagram of an imaginary printing press. The artist’s design was inspired by the printing process. The white line running across the wall represents a sheet of paper in the printing press. The painters filled the diagram with their own ideas. The result was CMYK at MOCAK – a work created in the basic colours used in the printing process: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
