Art lovers on the go should be aware of some great exhibits currently on display.
In London, Miroslaw Balka has an installation at the Tate Modern practically filling the interior space of Turbine Hall. It's a box of darkness that The Guardian describes as "...terrifying, awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. It embraces with a velvet chill."
In Dusseldorf, until January 11, 2010, admire a survey of paintings, 75 in all, by Krakow painter Wilhelm Sasnal at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, or K21.And coming up in early 2010 in Paris, the Galerie Thaddeus Ropac will show another Krakow painter, Marcin Maciejowski, while the Centre Pompidou will feature Warsaw artist Monika Sosnowska's new sculpture as the centerpiece of a major show of Eastern European art.
