The Gay, the innocent and the heartless exhibition will take place in Krakow

Photos of gloomy people; severe male figures in uniform with rifles; job names, inspired by the play of James Barrie "Peter Pan"; quotes of Comandante Che Guevara and controversial works of the famous American novelist William S Burroughs. Visitors of the Krakow National Museum have one last chance to see the exhibition of works «The Gay, the innocent and the heartless» of one of the most interesting Polish contemporary artists Zbigniew Libera, which will last until the last day of March.

Zbigniew Libera is one of the most popular and influential artists of Poland, whose works - photographs, films, installations and drawings - are permeated with subjectivity of contemporary culture. His shocking video "Intimate Rites" and "Mystical Perseverance", objects of "Correcting Devices" and the most famous work, which is a transformed toy for children, - "Lego Concentration Camp" - caused storming debates not only in the art circles, but also among the public. Since the advent of the «Lego» work Zbigniew Libera has become a pillar of the so-called "critical art". In recent years he was actively engaged in photography, including reportage press photos, created a series of works - "Positives" and "Masters".

The exhibition of works by Zbigniew Libera "The Gay, the innocent and the heartless" will last at the National Museum in Krakow until March 31, 2011.
