ARTVILNIUS’2023
MOCAK. Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow
Maria Anna Potocka
Description of the presented project:
The programme of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow MOCAK, which has been active since 19th May 2011 encompasses presentation of the latest international art, education as well as research and publication projects. MOCAK’s two most important aims are presenting the art of the two last decades in the context of the post-war avant-garde and conceptual art as well as clarifying the rationale of creating art by highlighting its cognitive and ethical value and its relationship with everyday reality.
All the projects will be undertaken by the Museum with diverse audiences in mind. The publications produced will provide information bringing closer the origin and significance of the works and events presented and placing them in contexts. The institution considers it an important challenge to reduce prejudice against very recent art.
This year Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow MOCAK presents works of three artists: Dóra Maurer, Józef Robakowski, Adam Rzepecki.
