This Polish-English publication which accompanies the exhibition Sport in Art contains texts and illustrations, as do all the large catalogues published by MOCAK. Amongst the texts you will find dissertations about the place of sport in culture and the contemporary world (by the philosopher Józef Lipiec and the sport sociologist Honorata Jakubowskia), the connections between sport and art (texts by art critics Lucien Kayser and Mariia Anna Potocka), a conversation with an artist who also happens to be a sports journalist – Jochen Gerz, as well as the text Sports Chorus by the Austrian Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek.
