Politics in Art
In the past, art served the purpose of bolstering political power –today it is a tool for questioning and holding authority to account. Once, artists used their talent to support the political system of the day. Today, they have become perspicacious and critical observers of the political scene and are active participants in opposition.
Franciszek Orłowski This Blood Is for You
The project was initiated in 2016. At that time, the artist invited Warsaw residents from different cultural backgrounds to donate blood. The collected blood went to the Polish blood bank. The action was documented. The exhibition shows the third, Krakow-based and expanded version of this project.
On the 10th Anniversary of the Death of Wisława Szymborska
The show includes – alongside the poet’s collages – copies of Polish editions of Szymborska’s poems, a selection of translations and monographs devoted to her, poetic posters, and her private memorabilia, and portraits of Szymborska.
Dialogue with the Space
Works in which the relationship with the surroundings they are in plays a significant role and provides a semantic clinch are usually called installations. Artists employ the exhibition space available or design it themselves. In this presentation, we show 14 works that form a relationship with a neutral environment.

Stanisław Dróżdż Concept-Shapes
