DESCRIPTION
The exhibition, titled Crisis, poses the question of the current iteration of the culture of war and whether it has imprinted itself on the practices of visual artists associated with Cracow. Is the proximity of the armed conflict taking place just across the border reflected in their work? We object to the celebration of the culture of war, which we read as an expression of succumbing to a necrophilic cult of wear and waste. We refuse both to succumb to a fascination with war and to emphasize emotional distance from its processes.
