  Olga Boznańska

You can soon find out how a contemporary viewer perceives the art of that painter considered a genius in her time.

  Zuzanna Janin. The Time of Cruel Miracles Is Not Over

  In The Time of Cruel Miracles Is Not Over the National Museum in Krakow introduces the works of Zuzanna Janin, one of Poland’s most important artists after 1989. With her original productions Janin contravenes the well-established pattern of considering Polish art of the 1990s only in the context of the so-called critical art and pop banalism. Since the early years of that decade Janin has been contemplating the relation between the individual and society, which produces mechanisms intended to restrict individual freedom. As an artist, Janin has taken a critical look at the homogeneous vision of culture. Seeking to divert that perspective, she has been emphasizing the potential of imagination, just as French situationists advocated vesting it with absolute power. Her pursuits in that area do not come down to purely aesthetic concerns. Janin has been sensitive to social and political reality. She is critical of the models of unrestricted life offered by culture.

  A presentation held at the EUROPEUM – Centre for European Culture shows artworks that, though not created in Europe, were influenced by European art. A cabinet and tsuba sword guards representing the namban art reflect this influence which was typical of this style of Japanese art. It developed at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, and this is the period the objects in the collection of the National Museum in Krakow date back to.

  Knowledge & power
