黑料不打烊

The exhibition at MOCAK highlights the significant presence of the theme of Auschwitz in the historical, social and cultural discourse. It demonstrates how contemporary artists from Poland, Israel and Germany interpret events from the past. This is not about presenting art broadly thematically related to the Holocaust, rather 鈥� about works that deal with the 鈥榓nus mundi鈥欌�� Auschwitz as a place of genocide, the most tragic man-made symbol there is. The exhibition poses a number of questions. After the last witnesses have died, will Auschwitz become a dark and vacant pop-cultural motif, a pure provocation, a horror Disneyland? Or are such worries exaggerated? Will the second and third post- Auschwitz generations feel a responsibility to carry the memory of these events?

The exhibition Poland 鈥� Israel 鈥� Germany is presented in the MOCAK Collection exhibition space, in the Alfa Gallery and in the Library. The main part of the exhibition will be displayed in the MOCAK Collection exhibition space; it will show the present approach to Auschwitz 鈥� through the works of 17 contemporary artists from Poland, Israel and Germany.
