In-depth Reception / February

In-depth Reception is a warm-up before visiting the exhibition on your own, intended to encourage you to ask questions and carefully look at the featured works. Let yourself savour art and feel free to share your observations and conclusions, however surprising they may be. Unhurriedly, without crowds, with friends or with somebody you’ve just met.

Once a month on selected Wednesdays, our mediators will be waiting for you by works of their choice, ready to discuss them and answer your questions. During the conversations, we will carefully look at the works and think about what feelings and emotions they evoke in us, so that in the future we will be able to explore the museum more consciously and with an open mind.

Małgorzata Rzerzycha-Myśliwy will talk about the work Crystal Stranglers presented at Kama Sokolnicka’s exhibition Glare (level 0)

While looking at Crystal Stranglers, we will talk about the properties of quartz and selenite as well as the work of Roberto Burle Marx – a modernist landscape architect.
 
 
Jagoda Forycka will talk about Karol Radziszewski’s Untitled work from the Ali series, featured at the exhibition Private Mythologies. Marta’s Birthday (level 4)

Who are the mysterious figures in the untitled painting by Karol Radziszewski? What have they achieved to be immortalised on canvas? Or maybe on the contrary, they have never done anything out of the ordinary? Let’s rediscover the past, this time giving the floor to those already forgotten by history.
 
 
Karolina Jaworska will talk about Stanisław Dróżdż’s installation Concrete Poetry presented at the exhibition Private Mythologies. Marta’s Birthday (level 5)

How to determine a fly’s flight path and (de)materialise a metaphor in a negative, or many words about veins.
 
 
Marta Mularczuk will talk about Ada Zielińska’s series featured at the Frutti di Mare exhibition (level 5)

Can nostalgic, post-communist aesthetics remain relevant? What emotions does the sunken and salvaged Fiat Panda trigger in us? How do Ada Zielińska’s visual works broaden the context in which the exhibition is perceived? How much can we take?
