Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej

About this place

Central to CoCA’s activity is the concept of ’glocality’, or putting a global perspective on regional phenomena, providing a jumping-off point for the development of identity of an institution founded far from the centre. CoCA’s programme is largely focused on the analysis of diverse collecting-related phenomena at anthropological, social, psychological and artistic levels.
Founded in 2008, the Centre of Contemporary Art is the newest and the biggest (over 4,000 square metres of gallery space) institution solely dedicated to contemporary art in Poland. With its inter-media and interdisciplinary formula, a multi-format program and international cooperation, CoCA presents the most interesting facets of contemporary art and related discourse. Through exhibitions, artist talks, seminars, artist-in-residence, publications, education programs as well as establishing a permanent collection, CoCA has committed itself to supporting contemporary art in Poland.
