  MUSEUM POWER

  MUSEUM POWER is an experimental exhibition addressed to those of us who have visited a museum at least once in their lives and left it awestruck, or hated it or remained indifferent. We have been through that, too. What was happening to us then? How did our senses and cultural anchoring influence that experience? And how were we influenced by the museum itself?

  Where’s Rome, where’s Crimea… Coinage of the Golden Horde and Crimean Khanate

  The establishment of the Mongolian Empire in the early 13th century was the work of Genghis Khan (ca. 1162–1227), one of the greatest chiefs of all time. During his lifetime, he divided the state between his four sons. The westernmost part of the empire, known as the Golden Horde (or traditionally the Ulus of Jochi), included vast territories of Eastern Europe and northern Central Asia. The Golden Horde (1242–1502) flourished the most in the first half of the 14th century, but its downfall began just around a dozen years later. In the 15th century, the Crimean Peninsula, which had been its integral part for two centuries, passed into the hands of an autonomous dynasty of the Girays, who established the independent Crimean Khanate (1441–1783).

  The Vistula is burning

  The weather as we know it does not exist anymore so the time of conscious self-enmeshment has come. We reach for the figure of the burning water as something both unusual and stunning; a metaphor of what may happen after the ice sheet melts down, the acidification of oceans rises, soils dry out and following many other signs in the panorama of this beautiful world, which is going extinct before our very eyes but which we still can save before the rivers flame up. The Vistula is Burning is an alarm that tolls the end of the well-known order. We are bringing up the longest Polish river because like Andri Snær Magnason, the author of On Time and Water, we are confident that in order to see a big picture of a problem we need to experience it locally. What is required to ease off "the shock of the future" is think of a strategy of survival for an individual, micro-environments and entire society. Phenomena that are hard to comprehend emerge like viscous hyper-objects.

  Genius of the Baroque. Szymon Czechowicz (1689-1775)

  Art of Szymon Czechowicz — a Pole whose talent matches that of the best Italian masters of his era — has never been presented in a special, monograph exhibition. A large display of his oeuvre — more than 200 paintings and drawings — makes a unique opportunity to meet grand art of late Baroque.

  Cardinal Karol Wojtyła. Photographs by Adam Bujak

  The work of Kraków photographer Adam Bujak has always touched upon issues related to the spiritual sphere of human life. Spirituality resounds both from contemplative shots reflecting the beauty of nature and the most important city for the photographer – Kraków, as well as from photographs depicting the mysticism of religious ceremonies.

  Zygmunt Rytka. To Whom Does the Cosmos Belong?

  To Whom Does the Cosmos Belong? is the first exhibition of the works of Zygmunt Rytka to have been realised by utilising the late artist’s digitised archive. The structural starting point for the exhibition is the Photovision series, the main part of which was created between 1978–1983. This was a period spanning the end of the Gierek era, with its attempts at creating a socialist consumer society; subsequent strikes and the struggle for the legalisation of the Solidarity labour movement; and the declaration and imposition of martial law in Poland, accompanied by increasing propaganda and manipulation of mass media through information channels controlled by the regime. During this time, Rytka embarked on a project oriented around photographing his television screen. He took more than 5,000 pictures from this vantage, the majority of which have never been published. These photographs capture not only the political and cultural climate of Poland in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but they also transcend literality, forming a stream of unsettling images, as if unspooling from the collective consciousness of modern society.
