In the dust... is a series of artistic interventions directed towards the museum as the sum of a variety of relationships – between people, things, biographies, history, and space – which each time is created anew, sometimes differently and often only momentarily. Individual projects by Christian Kobald, Alicja Rogalska, Paweł Kruk and Roman Dziadkiewicz will constitute independent components. In such dispersed structure of elements, amid the dust, the museum will be perceived as something in between what is singular and plural, common and separate.
