Such is the role of art, and this is the kind of art that MOCAK endeavours to show in all its activities. As for Art – it has no power to influence our lives directly.Īrt is there to provide reflection and both stimulate and provide depth to our critical perception of everything that existence entails. They delineate the limit of our functioning and mark out the extent of our freedom and dignity but also our iniquity. Each of these topics has proved a direct source of existential symbols, which one can employ in one’s own commentary on the world that we have been condemned to live in. Medicine demonstrated the complexity of body addiction.

Gender projected the prejudices related to gender. Economy warned against the power of money and its ubiquity. Sport revealed human ambition and potential. History showed the drama of war, patriotism and national identification. The previous themes were ‘taken from life’ and analysed received truths and manipulations thereof. This exhibition will, however, differ from the others. Description of the exhibition by Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow (MOCAK )Īrt in Art is another exhibition in MoCAK series that confronts important areas of life with their perception by artists.
