Thursdays with Artists from the MOCAK Collection. Shinji Ogawa
In March, April and on May 5 we present the interview with Shinji Ogawa. He talks about his artistic education and recalls his inspirations and journeys, which often proved for him a source of creative material.
Politics in Art
Politics in Art is the 10th exhibition in the flagship MOCAK series, in which we combine art with the most important civilisational concepts. Each exhibition presents a variety of artistic interpretations of a given theme. Politics in Art has been confronted with a tragic time when political ambitions have turned into a crime.
This Blood Is for You
The project This Blood Is for You was initiated by Franciszek Orłowski in 2016. At that time, the artist invited Warsaw residents from different cultural backgrounds to donate blood. The collected blood went to the Polish blood bank. The action was documented. Two years later the artist carried out a similar project as part of a festival organised by the Konstmuseum in Uppsala. The exhibition at MOCAK shows the third, Krakow-based and expanded version of this project.
The Last Swiss Holocaust Survivors
The exhibition presents statements of Holocaust witnesses and their descendants. Fourteen survivors are portrayed, along with excerpts from their personal memories of the Holocaust. The exhibition condemns anti-Semitism, still in evidence in many countries. Its goal is to pass on to the young generation the values of tolerance and openness to the other.
