Rzeźby Igora Mitoraja w mieście-utopii

Canary Wharf, ‘a utopian city in the city’, is a new district which on the one hand has become London’s second (after the City) financial and banking centre, and on the other a place where art meets work. The ‘Sculpture in the Workplace’ programme, with its sculpture park offering the largest collection of public art in the United Kingdom and a gallery holding temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, was intended to create a new identity for a new local community. Can art, including Igor Mitoraj’s sculptures, inspire a reflection in a mass audience? Can it steer its thoughts towards the origins of the Judeo-Christian civilisation, towards beauty, values and a community that has never been a utopia?
