Wednesday, August 18, 2010

The other day I was sitting opposite the legendary Volksbühne theatre with a British friend who seemed a little puzzled by the building, asking where the entrance was – if you know the monumental façade of the theatre, a slightly absurd question. ‘Right behind the columns,’ I answered, but I had to admit there was [...]

LESSONS IN MAGAZINES #06: PIN-UP

Sunday, June 6, 2010

Personally, I’ve never understood why architecture, obviously an art that has an immediate impact on our daily lives and thus a truly popular genre, has always been hiding behind a nebular cloud of abstract and highly intellectual, and all too often pretentious, vocabulary.

Contemporary art is having its moment in Poland these days. Museums get built, and new public as well as private institutions emerge. Artists’ names become common knowledge, their practice—previously ignored or misinterpreted—is widely understood and accepted today.
