The international exhibition DYSTOPIAN MONUMENTS presents a selection of works by contemporary artists, mostly young and middle generation, from Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland, who respond to the theme of dystopia. The sculptural works, objects and installations can thus be viewed, for example, through stories about the near or distant future built from the remnants and waste of our civilisation. We can also find in them certain flaws of contemporary society, conflicts, connections between man and nature, but also the possibilities of technological progress and its flip side in the form of suppressed humanity. The exhibition thus presents contemporary works as "mute" witnesses of today or monuments of society for the future.
