Guided tour in English of the exhibition: House of Day, House of Night: Works from the Collection of Radosław Kotarski

On Saturday 27 December, at 12 noon, you are welcome to visit the English-language guided tour of the exhibition House of Day, House of Night: Works from the Collection of Radosław Kotarski.

The exhibition, featuring works by 33 artists from Poland, Belarus, Canada and Japan, is based on Radosław Kotarski’s private collection and it is its first such extensive public presentation. The title of the exhibition is taken from Olga Tokarczuk’s novel – a melancholic, ambiguous work in which descriptions of the material world, subject to specific rules, intertwine with the metaphysical, spiritual and internal. The presentation at MOCAK is not an attempt to illustrate the Nobel Prize winner’s novel, which captivates the viewer with the persuasion of images and which would be only occasionally capable of transcription into the language of visual arts.

The exhibition is merely an attempt to translate the writer’s extraordinary concept : by juxtaposing myth with truth and merging reality with dreams, she has achieved a mysterious coherence, which inspires the readers to attempt to grasp their own existence in an equally comprehensive manner.

Admission is included in the exhibition ticket price. The meeting point: the MOCAK reception desk.
