Timeline
Sport in Art
Sport in Art after History in Art, the second exhibition in the series which shows how artists see the issues that matter in people's everyday lives. Sport in Art, an international exhibition which presents over forty artists, takes on board the interpretion of the central theme as widely as possible – in terms of both content and the range of media used. We will show classical painters, film makers and objects as well as artists who put their lives at risk in confrontation with extreme sports.

Contemporary Silesian architecture
On Wednesday 29 February at 6 pm, MOCAK and Autoportret (ed. by MIK) invite you to a session Contemporary Silesian architecture − Post-1989 Identity. The identity of Silesia, its modernism and neo-modernism – these will be the topics which Dorota Leśniak-Rychlak will be discussing with Przemo Łukasik (medusa group) and Anna Syska (Silesian Centre of Cultural Heritage).
The Artist = A Work of Art
EVA & ADELE are a couple of German artists who live and create ABOVE GENDER BOUNDARIES . Their guiding principle is: WHEREVER WE ARE IS MUSEUM! They want to impose on the world their vision of FUTURING. EVA & ADELE function in public space as an art work. The artists treat their own bodies as living sculpture, streets – as galleries and grand artistic events as a museum.
Transit
Transit, the exhibition of the work of Marek Chlanda, a Polish sculptor and graphic artist, presents over a hundred of his works – paintings and sculptures which combine into four well-meshed sequences. Dark visions create a cycle without a consistent narrative, creating a feeling of disquiet and loss in the viewer.
Comics: Urban Myths
The works shown at the exhibition are somehow related to the phenomenon of urban myths – the artists create brand new myths or transform existing ones. Urban myths describe disturbing and incredible events, which stem from common fears, and some of them are cautionary tales. All the works employ the technique of the comic strip, with its characteristic strong narrative quality.
Me as Roberta
An individual exhibition of an American artist - Lynn Hershman Leeson, showing photographs from the series Roberta Breitmore, taken over the period of 1974–1978. The artist not only changed her appearance, but she went as far as to flesh out the character of Roberta Breitmore - treated by those around her as a real person.
