Let's plan July together: Crime and... art, baby!

Today I have something special for you. The very first attempt to show crime through art and art through crime. This isn't another boring exhibition that just presents pictures. This exhibition will make you THINK - and probably think in a way you have never thought before.


"Crime in Art" is the 4th exhibition in a series which combines art with the most significant civilisational themes such as history, sport, science and religion. The main goal of the series is to demonstrate how many inspirations hide in our everyday life, how many symbols there are just waiting to grab them. The previous exhibitions were "History in Art", "Sport in Art" and "Economics in Art". Now we are going to focus on crime.

The exhibition features such works as a collection of police portraits dating to the beginning of 20th century, prints from Andy Warhol's "Electric Chair" series and numerous works of Belgian artist Danny Devos, who has a great fascination for crime and serial murder. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will provide deeper insight into the presented works. You are welcome to visit Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow during the whole month. I recommend doing it on Tuesday, as on Tuesdays you can enter for free.
