reCYCLING Vol. 2 - YES to sports, YES to art
The hugely successful reCYCLING event is coming back in a new form. We would like to invite all bicycle fans to join us at MOCAK on 1 September at 12 o’clock. The participants will not only get a chance to revamp their vehicles, but will also have an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of bicycles, visit the Sport in Art exhibition and test their stamina in the Schwinn Cycling marathon. Massmix, a street-art collective, will attend the event as special guests.
Apolonia's Erotic Garden
An individual exhibition of Pola Dwurnik will present works from the series Apolonia’s Garden. The series alludes to the libretto of Alcina, an opera by George Frideric Handel: a witch who lives on an island turns her ex-lovers into plants and animals. The artist depicts her own past parters as animals and she analyses her relationships with them, drawing on the metaphor.
No Budget Show 4
An exhibition based on a concept of the artist Robert Kuśmirowski. At MOCAK, we shall present works of young artists, produced – as the title of the exhibition makes clear – without any financial input whatsoever. On the one hand, this is a throwback to the romantic concept of penniless artistic creation, on the other – an indirect commentary on the issue of the financing of art and culture.
