Ways of Seeing is the new permanent exhibition of the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź – a multifaceted narrative about 20th- and 21st-century art and about the museum itself as an institution of artistic experimentation, avant-garde thought, and solidarity.
The exhibiotion focuses on the phenomenon of seeing – both as a biological function and as a cultural and political act. Divided into several thematic chapters, it presents art as a tool of inquiry, posing questions about how and why we look. Among the issues explored are: the relationship between vision and memory, the social contexts of looking, perception as a form of knowledge and a tool of resistance, as well as questions of identity, corporeality, and the sensorial experience of reality.
