Ladies and Gentlemen!When 13 years ago Warsaw began its adventure with the Long Night of Museums, 11 venues took part in the event – all of them museums. This year, more than 250 institutions invite visitors. Despite this multitude and diversity, the Long Night of Museums has not lost its basic and founding character – popularizing museum collections. On this year’s Long Night of Museums, on 14th May, 52 museums will be open. They are the main axis of this cultural event, during which visitors may watch permanent exhibitions or showcases prepared specially for this occasion.The idea to allow venues unrelated with culture to participate in the Long Night of Museums was born in 2009 and has received very positive feedback from visitors. However, statistics shows that it is museums that nighttime guests visit the most. Indeed, attendance records reaching 10 or 15 thousand visitors during one evening are held by Warsaw-based museums. I heartily invite you to the Long Night of Museums 2016. This year, one more time, there will be plenty of attractions and specially prepared events waiting for visitors. The guidebook will allow you to learn more about them. See you on 14th May!

A world of an outstanding hero is unveiled. A hero whose musical talent is almost magical. However, what happens when life demands him to meet its hard requirements? Will he take on the challenge and try to submerse, or continue to stay on the surface – of both the ocean and life?— Exhibition of works by Joanna RoszkowskaThe artist is a designer of industrial forms by profession. Painting and sculpting are her passions. Her artistic works are characteristic for their biomorphism.

broadened a given work of art’s reception). It was also – most importantly – an occasion to meet the owner and listen about the history of their families.Those were peculiar world premieres, as neither the paintings nor the stories of Warsaw families had ever been publicly presented.On the Long Night of Museums, we will organize a meeting not only with the owners who participated in our events before, but also with many new guests, who will present their paintings together during this evening.We will see paintings by Witkacy, Józef Czapski, Luca Giordano, Władysław Wanke, Jacek Malczewski, Jerzy Nowosielski, Utamaro, Józef Pankiewicz and Władysław Podkowiński.

Praga Showroom: silk-screen paintingsThe idea to present selected graphic artists who create silk-screen paintings,

artists vibrantly active individually or in cooperatives, was born in connection with the extraordinary place that Gallery 81 Degrees in Warsaw’s Praga is. It was the atmosphere of creative studios in Praga, as well as a multitude of initiatives related with silk-screen painting, that made us feel the need to present just how many different topics and issues contemporary serigraphy creators touch on – of course, each of them in their own, unique style.Praga Showroom is a meeting of artists, designers, illustrators, and a pretext for a discussion, exchanging opinions on contemporary topics, on topics that we find of interest.

Presentation of artistic demeanours of two artists: Sylwia Caban and Waldemar MazurekSylwia Caban’s exhibition is a showcase of sculptures and paintings which are an excerpt from a project titled Inclusions – Omitted Objects.In this context, inclusions are a reference to objects and phenomena which remain unnoticed or are perceived as foreign bodies within the space of a city. This artistic statement is based on “irrelevant” objects, which oftentimes are marked with peculiar “non-aesthetic” and may be described as a form of a relic. It is a peculiar recycling of omitted things.Waldemar Mazurek’s exhibition is a presentation of pieces made from bronze, ceramics and stone. It is a sculptural story

of a human form locked in hard matter – a commentary on our mundaneness, carnality, and at the same time an action which stops the passing of a human being in one particular moment.

9:00 pm – 2:00 am Muzeum Narodowe Jerozolimskie Av.Nowy Świat

Muzeum Utracone 2016The idea behind the project is to search for new ways of popularizing knowledge about national heritage lost especially during the Second World War. The project aims to “mentally retrieve” this heritage and bring back the memory of lost works of art, as most of them cannot be found and brought back physically. In the Lorentz Courtyard, in front of the National Museum, a film titled Muzeum Utracone 2016 will be screened, dedicated to the artistic oeuvre of Jan Matejko. Preparing and using a modern animated film, artistically attractive and accessible – thanks to its form – for most audiences, will make it possible to present works of art and their stories from the moment when they appeared in Polish collections until their wartime lot, to viewers of all ages, irrelevant of their interests and education. The organizers wish to show viewers just how extremely difficult it was to hide the works (among them – enormous paintings) from invaders and store them throughout the war, as well as present artworks which, despite efforts, were stolen and have still not returned to their owners.The film screening will be accompanied by games, including interactive ones, taking place in both of the Museum’s courtyards.

Exhibition by Czesław Olszewski photographyMost of Czesław Olszewski’s heritage is held in the archives of the Museum of Warsaw. The collection presented within the exhibition is owned by the artist’s family. Czesław Olszewski (1861–1914) is one of the most famous Polish photographers of the interwar period and post-war years. His main

area of interest was most of all architecture, which is why his photographs depict, inter alia, archival landscapes of the old Warsaw. However, his legacy’s unique documentary value lies mostly in images of modernist architecture, which was being created in the 1930s.

Joanna Stasiak: Classical LandscapeSilk painting is an old, demanding technique. More than four years ago, during her artistic travel in India, it became a new technical challenge for Joanna Stasiak. Stasiak analyses formal and material issues, which she was uneasy about earlier.

Joanna Stasiak, just like in previous years on canvases, now – on silk supports, creates works that emanate freshness, but are at the same time filled with the sense of connection with artistic tradition, with creative output of grand masters (such as Nicolas Poussin, Pierro della Francesco or mentor professor Janusz Kaczmarski)

The exhibition is composed of three series of works created with the use of this technique: Chronicles of Gallery Incidents (2010–2011), Illustrations’ Conspiracy (2014) and – created specially for this exhibition – a 10-metre frieze (2007–2016).

Izabella Bryzek: Greetings from the Ecosphere This individual exhibition of works by Izabella Bryzek is another presentation of her deliberations concerning the relation between the human being and the world around, which we unceasingly get to know, investigate and transform. This time, the artist will lock within the space of gallery objects which she describes as “mementos” from the eponymous Ecosphere. Iza attempts to present selected items, elements of our everyday lives, as rare and desirable things. They become artefacts present in only one place that we know of: the Earth – a planet orbiting in the Ecosphere. The exhibition will include paper objects imitating plants, collages made of scraps of randomly

combined pieces of continents, and curtains with images of the sky. — 9:00 pm Screening of Godfrey Reggio’s film titled Koyaanisqatsi, selected because of the topic of the exhibition and the fact that some of the exhibits will be “taken straight out” of terrains where the Hopi Tribe used to live.

Therefore, the works, created as a natural consequence of the famous project by Krzysztof Uklański, titled The Nazis, present faces of famous characters who are commonly known, but thanks to the big screen. It creates a specific quality – debatable when it comes to the connection of a historic truth, authenticity with the transmitted knowledge, emotions, all kinds of values that we are unable to precise well. After all, it’s about a visual transmission, which, by adding a new context, opens a new, surprising space of intellectual improvisations.

Agnieszka Brzeżańska: Matrix-Shitrix (Matrix-Sratrix)This individual exhibition of Agnieszka Brzeżańska’s works presents, among others, a series of new digital collages, created on the basis of images circulating the Internet as memes and gifs. Ruins of Syrian cities, frames from popular films or random, compelling images intertwine and create surprising compositions, which speak volumes about the times we are living in. The title of the exhibition, Matrix-Shitrix, indicates the author’s attitude towards a dualistic approach to reality, prevailing in the western civilisation for thousands of years.

Guided tours. Visitors will have a chance to meet the artist. The gallery provides cold and warm drinks.

Franciszek Starowieyski – The Abduction of Europe and Other Topics Exhibition of works by one of the most significative Polish artists of the 20th century. Franciszek Starowieyski was the first Pole to have an individual exhibition of his works showcased at New York’s MoMA. He was awarded for his creative output with the most important prizes in the world. He had an authentic and never-ending need to create, which he expressed, inter alia, in sketches and drawings. At the same time, he was building his own legend: his passions and extravagances manifested themselves e.g. in antedating of his paintings, changing the date of creation to the times of mature Baroque – a period which meant a lot to the artist. Starowieyski said once that for him only moments of bewilderment were art; the rest was craft. He himself bewildered recipients of his works incessantly. For example, by proposing a painting titled Pagan Europe Kidnaps Catholic Poland (Pogańska Europa porywa katolicką Polskę) to The Representative of the Republic of Poland in Brussels. The exhibition at Katarzyna Napiórkowska’s Art Gallery includes, i.a., sketches for this work.

Sleeplessness (Bezsenność) – Professor Antoni Fałat – paintingsIn the 1970s, the Artist rose to fame as a co-founder of a group called Aut Pictura Aut Nihil – “Either Painting or Nothing”. He was also a co-initiator of an artistic movement called “O poprawę”. As a long-time provost of the European Academy of arts, he educated many young painters. Fałat was always characterized by an uncompromising vision and compositional boldness. His paintings, which touch on deep psychological issues, include also important aspects of the contemporary world. This is painting filled with concentration and existential anxiety.

Drawings, early works by Henryk MusiałowiczNieformalna Gallery presents several pencil drawings, as well as works created with the use of a mapping pen and a brush, from before 1957. In that year, the Artist went to Holland, where he met Rembrandt’s art for the first time. This fact strongly influenced his further artistic quest. Having come back to Poland, he turned to a lapidary form – at first only black-and-white, later with added colours – and that was how the his famous series were created: Reminiscences, Family, Expectancy and Epitaphs.

Works to be presented at Nieformalna Gallery have never been publicly shown before and they will definitely allow viewers to learn about and understand the artist’s way.

Exhibition of paintings by Wiesław SzamborskiAn artist considered to be a representative of a new figuration – Szamborski did not succumb to the pressure of the Socialist times; instead, he was able to make use of generational experiences, by commenting on them in the form of realism. In the centre of his artistic thought was topicality in the situation of interpersonal tensions, emphasizing the solitude of an individual. The colour palette used in the works – conventional and symbolical – unmasks the reality, educes individual psychic and emotional conditions.

Studium procesu wydobycia – the newest works by Michał SzuszkiewiczSubtle and underspecified, abstract compositions by Michał Szuszkiewicz were created in line with the idea of “craft clearing”, which the artist undertook in search of the gist of a work of art’s substance. Adapting the way archaeologists work to the language of painting, he formed paintings by rubbing paint or washing it away, as opposed to the traditional way of applying new and new layers of it. The use of paper, instead of canvas, intensifies the effect of elusiveness of the extraction study stopped during the process.The works were presented in 2015 at Junge Kunst Museum in Frankfurt (Oder), within a project titled New Lands (Nowe Ziemie).

Tango is an unique, hand-made artistic book, issued irregularly between 1983 and 1987 by a group of creators gathered around an independent gallery in Łódź, named “Strych”. The name Tango was chosen because if its absurdity and a simple association with flouncing, “one step forward, two steps back”. 9 issues were published, in a small number of copies, therefore only very few have been preserved until today, and their prices are sky-high. The exhibition at Propaganda Gallery, presenting particular pages, photographs and films, will be the first such a broad and multi-threaded showcase of this art zine.

It is a great joy, to preserve an elusive reflection in a window pane, a pacifier by a fence or an onion wrapped in a little quilt. It is Magic and absurdity, right near us. Everyday”.— Galeatorium – exhibition of works by Patryk Nieczarowski-Nieczar, showcasing his creative output in the field of sculpture and artistic armour-making.With the use of ancient techniques of metal forming, the artist creates replicas of tin hats, as well as unique sculptures made from sheet metal. The exhibition showcases mostly copper plate helmets, which are an attempt at using a helmet’s utilitarian role as a medium for presenting a portrait. Hence the title of the exhibition, Galeatorium, from the Latin galea, meaning “a helmet”. Among the presented helm-portraits, there are extraordinary images of Polish female vocalists, such as Anna Maria Jopek and Kayah.— 8:00 pm – midnight Il Dolce Tormento – concert; Renaissance and Baroque lyric love poetry performed by Canti Vocal Ensemble (Zespół Wokalny Canti): Karolina Roman

Graphics with the Material Beauty of a Template (Grafika z materialnym piętnem matrycy) – exhibition of works by Dariusz Kaca In a catalogue titled Graphic Image of the Sky (Graficzny obraz nieba), D. Leśnikowski writes: “In his recent works, Dariusz Kaca also asks about the eternal logics of the world and primordial truths. His graphics are still a Grand spectacle in the sky, but presented in black-and-white or, less often, as a colour composition close to a monochrome. As if the artist wanted to express his belief that the splendour of the all-thing does not need screaming but silence, reflection and humility.”The organizer offers free refreshments.

biology and chemistry influences architecture. To explain the place of mathematics and informatics in the process of designing. The broad spectrum of issues will allow us to present more precisely the important factors which influence the shaping of buildings, such as: experimenting, the organicity of form, parametricity. We will also talk about the contemporary approach to historic buildings.Just like the title of the event suggests, each element will assume interactions with the user.

Farewell with EmiliaOn the Long Night of Museums, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw is leaving its hitherto seat – Emilia pavilion, a precious example of Polish modernism, and one facing the threat of being pulled down. The four-year lease ends at midnight on 14th May. Empty and prepared for being returned, Emilia will become an enormous stage for music and dance events, the culmination of which on this Saturday evening will be a concert spread over the whole building. A choir composed of several dozens of immigrants and refugees living in Poland, associated by Fundacja Strefa Wolnosłowa, will perform The Great Learning by Cornelius Cardew. This communal ritual for amateurs and professionals is seen as a milestone of the 20th-century music. It will be accompanied by solo performances by Warsaw-based immigrant musicians, choreographers and artists, taking place in spaces previously unavailable for the public. Moreover, there will be also guided tours of the pavilion organized on this day, as well as activities for the youngest participants of the Long Night of Museums. Just before midnight, all events planned for this evening at Emilia will finish. Emilia’s visitors and employees will leave the building together.

7:00 pm – 1:00 am Teatralny Sq. | Line E Krakowskie PrzedmieścieTrębacka

Theatre of marvels – exhibitionNowadays miracles happen in temples and places of worship. In theatre, the memory of stagings of miracles is one of the elements which create the legend of this art, as well as set the diapason and horizons for theatre’s dreams and poetry. This poetry may manifest especially in those types of the performing arts which apply the language and performative techniques of the theatre of marvels – theatre of impossible things – such as e.g. Shakespeare’s Theatre, Romantic theatre or doll theatre. In Medieval theatre, a separate genre called drama-theatre-miracle was present, as well as stories of miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary and other saints of God. Theatre of marvels may take place not only at the heights of poetry but also at the level of ludic culture – totally tawdry entertainment. All in all, theatre is also a shack showcasing miracles. We can all hear it in our ears: “People, people! Miracles in this shack!”.

In short: you will go through almost 200 years of the history of the University Garden and look at it from various perspectives: through the prism of grand historic events which left their stamp on this place, everyday stories of people connected with the Garden, as well as the history of plants and gardening.

M O R E O V E R :

Marathon of Andrzej Kałuszko films, dedicated to the history of the capital city (at Scena Oficyna):— Flight over the Conquered City (Przelot nad zdobytym miastem) – documentary; created on the basis of shots of Warsaw found by Krzysztof Jaszczyński, taken by a German cameraman flying on a Luftwaffe plane over capitulating Warsaw on 28th September 1939 (22 minutes).— The Beginning (Początek) – documentary; a continuation of Flight over the Conquered City. The documentary was made from

excerpts from German chronicles and films, including those made available recently in American archives. Apart from numerous shots taken from a low-flying plane, parts of the film were shot on the ground. Much of the footage was most probably recorded by the Germans in order to analyse the effectiveness of their bombing strategy. Nowadays it is a unique documentation of the beginning of the occupation, the effects of which were so immensely tragic for Warsaw’s inhabitants and the city itself. The footage was enriched with newspaper clippings from those times (30 minutes).— Warsaw – Aerial View (Warszawa w locie) – film impression; shots of Warsaw taken on a helicopter flying over the most interesting places of the Capital City (5 minutes).— Pre-war Warsaw (Przedwojenna Warszawa) – set of old pre-war photographs of the city, turned into a film (12 minutes)

We don’t know, it will be a surprise for us, just like it will be a surprise for the audience. One thing we know for sure: thanks to this fact, the performance we create will draw from theatrical traditions... in some way. Most probably, strange and ambiguous. Rather near, maybe against.

| 9 Hoża St. 8:00 pm – midnight Trzech Krzyży Sq. | Line J, K Trzech Krzyży Sq.

Gregor Gonsior’s Merzbau is a peculiar homage to one of the progenitors of Dadaism, Kurt Schwitters. The artist’s eponymous Merzbaus, created in the 1920s and the 1930s, were monumental and abstract interiors, combining sculptural, architectural and painting elements, and expressing their author’s turn to Gesamtkunstwerk, which was a hybrid of those different forms of expression. Merzbau works were enormous undertakings, requiring much work and time. Schwitters covered walls with three-dimensional shapes, created grottos, niches, filled them with random objects, litter, scraps. He claimed that – in a physical and ideological sense – Merzbau contains everything that mattered to him.Almost 90 years have passed since the times of Schwitters’ Merzbau. The matter of contemporary times surrounding us has changed. Widely available waste has changed too. Will Gonsior’s contemporary Merz adapt to present-day realities or will it rather stay true to traditional qualities, unchanged since the very beginning of Dadaism? These questions will be answered by the artist himself, via a visual collage filled with intuitive clusters.

The organizer invites for a live history lessonWilla Jasny Dom (Bright House Villa) is a beautiful, modernist tenement house, built in the late 1930s. Unfortunately, despite it’s optimistic name, it hides a dramatic past. Between February and October 1945, it was the seat of the Main Directorate of Information of the Polish Army. In its basements, prison cells were located; interrogation rooms and offices were set up on other floors. Over the seven months more than a thousand women and men were imprisoned here, including soldiers of the Armia Krajowa. Martyrdom inscriptions have been preserved until today – carved on walls and doors with spyholes.

8:00 pm – 10:00 pm Muzeum PowstaniaWarszawskiego | Line A, F Towarowa | Grzybowska

Izabela Chamczyk, SynergyIzabela Chamczyk’s performance Synergy includes actions based on viewers’ interaction with painting matter “animated” by the artist. Formal questions, such as colour, liquidity, drying, structure, texture, shape, form, composition, smell, limit, interior, externality, space, image, installation – connected with the emotional nature of a human being – will be a reference point. The performance is an invitation for viewers to step inside the painting and co-create a story of themselves, the world and art. The goal of the project is to create a new, common space – a painting arrangement of an interior. The project assumes engagement of the senses (sight, touch, smell) as well as emotional and intellectual engagement of viewers. The final effect will be achieved through a synchronization of individual people’s reactions and actions.

Lyrical and organic abstraction, the language of geometry, op-art, Tachisme, action painting, matter painting and the use of sign convention...Our offer includes paintings by classical contemporary artists, avant-garde representatives, famous and acclaimed – from the top of “collectors’ popularity”. However, we also bring back excellences known by experts. Therefore, they create a new, attractive quality on the market.Moreover, we offer works by artists of younger generations. The gallery’s programme could be concisely put as: “keep up” and “level-up” – and the “up” is top shelf in our gallery.

Ryszard Horowitz: Unknown PortraitsAn extraordinary exhibition of photographs by Ryszard Horowitz. The project showcases pictures which have never been published before, portraying, e.g., Roman Polański, Daniel Olbrychski, Jerzy Kosiński, Jan Lebenstein, Adam Hoffman, Piotr Skrzynecki,

Urszula Dudziak, Zuzanna Łapicka, Kropka Gosławska, Andrzej and Magda Dudziński. The presented photographs were taken, inter alia, at Ryszard Horowitz’s studio in New York, during the artist’s private meetings with the heroes of the pictures. These extraordinary works form a kind of a photographic diary and they are accompanied by Ryszard Horowitz’s memories.Ryszard Horowitz about Roman Polański’s photograph: “I caught the moment when, in 1965, in a New York hotel, Romek offered his love to Frankenstein. Most clearly, he was already planning on filming The Fearless Vampire Killers (Nieustraszeni pogromcy wampirów), created two years later.”Ryszard Horowitz about Daniel Olbrychski and Jerzy Kosiński’s photograph: “Two of my friends, Jerzy Kosiński and Daniel Olbrychski, visited me at the studio in 1984. Out of the corner of my eye, I was observing them, watching them joke. I am not sure which one of them presented a greater artistry in acting; I couldn’t take my eyes off their expressive faces, the contrast between the good looks of a Semite and a Slav. An improvised photo shoot resulted from that meeting and there are numerous individual shots and double portraits remaining.

The starting point for the works is a figure study – an insightful observation of a model in a drawing studio. Later, time comes for experiments, searching for one’s own artistic language. What is characteristic of this exhibition is this variety of creative attitudes. Subtlety, softness and delicacy are counterbalanced by expression and unbridled temperament – gesture, marks of a black spot and an aggressive line. The works were created by students of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year, and pedagogues.

Małgorzata Markiewicz: Fairy-tale of Leaving and Returning – exhibitionIt is a project touching on the idea of home as a haven, at the same time presenting home as a place of oppression. An attempt to comprehend the role of home in our life is an obvious reference point for the artist. She brings our attention to the role of boldness, hope, intuition or longing, which may transform our life, and points to the fact that strength which we draw from home may both attract and repel us. Home as a place of oppression becomes a prison at times.Animation, photography, object and unique outfits. Co-organizer: Supermarket Sztuki.
