Summary:Atlas of Modernity' is an exhibition that allows to see the collection of Muzeum Sztuki in Lodz, Poland, in a different way, but, more importantly, it is also a story of modernity and its meaning from a contemporary perspective constructed with the works included in the exhibition. The exhibition does not report the history of modernity put in chronological order, neither does it present the history of modern art. It focuses on the most important phenomena that are commonly connected with that which is modern, such as: emancipation, autonomy, industrialisation, capital, urbanisation, experiment, mechanization and revolution. By creating a 'collage' of artworks from different periods, representing different aesthetics and artistic attitudes around these notions the exhibition poses questions about how the character of the phenomena changed, how the way they were perceived altered and, most importantly, to what extent they shape contemporary reality. Exhibition: Muzeum Sztuki Lódz, Poland (since 24.01.2014).
