#EXHIBITION
Anecdotes on contemporary art
Microhistories given on the pieces of art from the perspective of their storage, creation or preservation letto give the painting a new or additional meaning.Sometimes it’s the story behind which make them interesting at al The works presented in the Microhistories exhibition in Królikarnia are joined only by the fact they’re from the collection of Modern Art and the curators had some curio, visual associations or formal analysis on it to sahre with the audience- far away from conventional , isn’it?
Królikarnia is a palace in a former rabbit hunting area (hence the name: ‘królik’ is a ‘rabbit’), now a branch of Warsaw’s National Museum devoted to Xavery Dunikowski, early 20c Polish sculptor. So as you see, there are at least two reasons to visit this exhibition!
