As one of the highlights of a year celebrating Fryderyk Chopin’s music, the Polish Cultural Institute and WRO Art Center present a fresh new take on the most renowned Polish composer, integrating his compositions into three multimedia installations. Integrating some of his most popular piano works with high technology and creating powerful visual accompaniments to them, these installations reveal the timeless power and appeal of his music, well beyond the conventional concert-hall recitals.

Norman McLaren (1914-1987) was for most of his life associated with NFB in Montreal, where he made over 60 films there, winning close to like 200 international awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Palm and a BAFTA award.
Seeking to unify the visual and audio levels of his films, McLaren explored the potential of animation for integrating music and image. Synthetic sound tracks that he composed by drawing by hand directly on film tape served as the basis for colorful visual replications of the sound, letting us “see what we hear”. That technique – which McLaren called “animated sound”, is the focus of this exhibition.

The exposition at WRO Art Center focuses mainly on self-portraits, often realized by the artist and his friends as actions in front of the camera lens.
Enlarged photographs are presented as printouts of the original glass negatives and prints from the collection of Ewa Franczak and Stefan Okołowicz.
After the presentation at Warsaw’s LeGuern Gallery, the neon, designed by Rafał Jakubowicz and based on the diagram-sketch by Jerzy Ludwiński from 1980 will be installed on the WRO Art Center’s façade.

The traces of memory are recorded in painting, screenings and a found object. The traces don’t reveal their meanings, they merely hint at how to search for them. Twardowski did half of the job, and now he’s giving it up for the audience.

The art book by Piotr Bosacki, published recently by the authors and Poznań-based Transmission Foundation, is a unique publication, presenting a selection of literary miniatures inspired by the author’s dreams, filled with philosophical reflections based on everyday observations. Suffused with humour yet serious in its essence, the “dream book” is illustrated with drawings by Wojciech Bąkowski.
