From 25 to 28 October visit our MOCAK stand at the 16th Krakow Book Fair. Our presentation will include our latest publications: What Is Art for? Talking to Writers by Tadeusz Nyczek and Eyewitness: 1949 Diary by Jiří Kolář. We particularly recommend that you take part in the encounters organised by the Museum with, amongst others, Janusz Głowacki, Tadeusz Nyczek, Krzysztof Varga, Marek Chlanda and Leszek Engelking.
Viewing of the exhibitions with the artists
On Saturday at 12 pm, we offer you the opportunity to see Anita Glesta’s Guernica and Wojciech Wilczyk’s Post-industrial Spaces in the company of the artists themselves. They will talk about their works and inspirations.
Holiday-makers
A glass snow globe from Egypt, a hatchet from Zakopane, postcards from Sopot, a ship in a bottle, shell beads, a towel with a labrador, pressed herbs... The works of the group Banda from the Department of Graphic Art in Krakow are a playful take on summer souvenirs and holiday memories. What the collages, items, installations and art books on display have in common is that they were created during the 2012 heat wave.
Collage with an Ermine
Jiří Kolář’s exhbition is the first such large monographic presentation in Poland of one of the most prominent Czech artists. Kolář created mostly surreal collages, often produced using innovative techniques. To accompany the exhibition, MOCAK will publish Eyewitness, the first Polish translation of the artist’s post-war diaries.
The Lunatics Are On The Loose…Fluxus European Festivals 1962-1977
An exhibition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the international artist network Fluxus. The exhibition aims to provide a synopsis of the Fluxus activities during the European festivals organised during the 60s and 70s.
Guernica
The bombing of Guernica during the 1937 Spanish civil war became part of world history thanks to Pablo Picasso’s painting Guernica. The American artist Anita Glesta refers to the event in her multimedia installation.
Post-industrial Spaces
Wojciech Wilczyk’s exhibition Post-industrial Spaces will present over a dozen photographs from the series Post-industrial. The works were produced during 2003–2006.
