#CONCERT
2 nights with Fennesz
Christian Fennesz is an Austrian guitarist active in electronic music, often credited on albums simply as Fennesz. He uses guitar and notebook computers to make multilayered compositions that blend melody and conventional musical instruments with harsh, irregular glitch-influenced sounds and washes of white noise. The emphasis on the guitar texture and the burying of pop melodies under layers of effects are common features of Fennesz’s music. Ultimately, this is something that can be traced to the various Fripp & Eno collaborations of the 1970s. If you won’t make it to Pardon To Tu on Tuesday don’t worry, you can see another show on Wednesday :).

#FOOD
Oficially best food in town
Gazeta Wyborcza, the biggest Polish daily, gave the 2013 „Best Restaurant” title to Jung&Lecker, a wine bar serving delicious weekday lunches (for 21 PLN between 12pm and 4 PM) with regular menu changing every week (!). Go see for yourself what the town is raving about and check their FB postings (through google translate) to know the lunch of the day-it always includes a soup and a quite wide range of pasta, salads and main dishes which is quite uncommon for a lunch set. Today’s special: black-currant cold soup with Schwarzwald ham and basil & pork tenderloin in vegetable, feta and spaetzle noodles. But hurry while the food lasts (lunches might run out by 3 PM). And if they do run out of lunch, be sure to try pear soup with saffron milkcaps instead!

#EXHIBITION
Jew, Pole, Legionary
The exhibition depicts life stories, attitudes and work of Jewish members of the Piłsudski’s Polish Legions as well as history of Jewish civilians residing on the Polish territories occupied by various enemy countries. The exhibition sheds light on complex Polish-Jewish relations at the time of Poland regaining its independence: during the First World War, battling for the Polish borders and the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1920.
The exposition consists of sculptures, paintings and graphic art as well as examples of artwork at the service of war and military propaganda – posters, proclamations, postcards and projections of films propagating Polish military action. It also comprises little-known images of German and Austrian war photographers, commemorative legionary rings and an original uniform.
Leopold Gottlieb, one of the most interesting Polish-Jewish artists in the first decades of the 20th century as well as a soldier of the First Brigade, is one of the exhibition protagonists. While both on the front line and at its rear, he produced several hundreds of drawings depicting Legions’ commanders (including several portraits of the brigadier Piłsudski) and his comrades in arms. Gottlieb also documented scenes of legionary life. (from: www.jewishmuseum.org)
