  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.

  Franciszek Starowieyski (1930–2009). Virtuoso of the form

  The exhibition of Franciszek Starowieyski’s movie posters was a recollection of the works of the artist, who died four years ago (in 2010) and used to be one of the most popular Polish painters. He was well known due to his peculiar artistic style, charm and the way he could easily establish contact with the audience. He was a member of the Polish School of Posters, whose works were presented by the MoMA during a dedicated exhibition.
