The exhibition presents works by more than 30 artists and artistic groups from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, which provide evidence of common interests and intuitions. The exhibition also includes unique archival materials. An English-language collection of texts presented at The Other Transatlantic. Kinetic and Op art in Eastern Europe and Latin America, a conference organized in Warsaw in 2016, will be published on the occasion of the exhibition.
