Description

MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow is the first post-war institution in Poland founded and purpose-built for the presentation of international contemporary art. The Museum’s vibrant programme extends beyond its physical boundaries, and has included exhibitions in venues across Poland and wider Europe.

This selection, chosen by the Director herself, is the perfect introduction to this diverse collection. Her incisive commentary elucidates the complex works displayed and grants new and thought-provoking insights into the work and workings of contemporary artists.

Author information

Maria Potocka has been Director of the MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow since 2010. She is the founder of four art galleries, the creator of an international art collection (1973-2010, donated to MOCAK) and the curator of numerous exhibitions. She has authored eight other books and many theoretical texts.
