The KAFKAesque exhibition at the DOX Contemporary Art Centre brings a reflection of Kafka’s work and poetics in contemporary art. It does not offer a historical view of the writer’s work, but a view that reflects our contemporary situation with all its complexities and ambiguities. This is reflected in the works of more than thirty internationally renowned artists that are on display in the exhibition. At the exhibition you will delve into the concept of “Kafkaesque”, and get to know the works of Kafkaesque professionals and amateurs, the curators invite you to visit the exhibition.
For decades, attempts to understand Kafka’s literary works and his life have presented an intellectual and often emotional challenge to scholars and readers alike, and have been the subject of much interpretation. Every age has needed to comment on Franz Kafka and his work, and today is no different. Everyone has their Kafka. You can revise or enrich your view of his work until 22 September 2023.
