Opening of the “Cold Revolution”

It was today that the long-awaited new exhibition at Zachęta Gallery – “Cold Revolution” – was opened! On this occasion, we invited members of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts to a pre-premiere, morning curatorial tour through the exhibition, during which we were the first to hear about how the idea for the exhibition was born, as well as to talk to its creators and curators. “Cold Revolution” is the result of the collaboration of curators: Joanna Kordjak and Jérôme Bazin, as well as leading cultural institutions from the Czech Republic, France, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. It shows the social revolution of the 1950s through painting, photography, film, design and architecture (over 400 works from six countries of the former Eastern Bloc: Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary). The exhibition is open from 27.05-19.09. You are warmly welcome!
