This event accompanies The State We Are In. The Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw at Galeria Labirynt in Lublin.
The collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw was initially focused on the works of artists from Central Europe, with an emphasis on the neo-avant-garde tradition. Soon, however, the range of the institution’s interests has expanded into new areas, going beyond the European context and tradition. The collection now includes pieces by artists from Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, Angola or Thailand. Preceded by a brief guided tour of the exhibition, the presentation shall concern the policy of collecting and building institutions based on non-Western canons of art history.
Sebastian Cichocki is the main curator with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and author of exhibitions, texts and educational projects.
