Group exhibition KAFKAesque

Basics

– DOX Centre for Contemporary Art

Description

The KAFKAesque exhibition at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, Czech Republic, presents a reflection on Kafka’s work and poetics in contemporary art. It does not offer a historical view of the writer’s work, but a view that reflects our contemporary situation with all its complexities and ambiguities. The work of more than thirty internationally renowned artists shows that Kafka’s work, with its references to existential fears and personal anxieties, is highly relevant to our times.
