Factory: A visualization of labour

When graphic artist Mariusz Waras and avant-garde musician Krzysztof Topolski worked together, they produced Factory, a spectacular site-specific installation that was created specifically to be exhibited in the biggest room of CoCA or Center of Contemporary Art-Znaki Czasu in Toruń, the medieval town by the Vistula River in northern Poland that gave birth to Nicolaus Copernicus. The exhibition gives a good excuse to visit it until January 17, 2010.
