“MEMORY OF THE CITY_ Milosh Luczynski in JUBILATKA” _ 19.07_30.08 2024, Krakow, Nowa Huta, Poland.
2 months long multidisciplinary intervention: art exposition, participatory, monumental video installation, intermedia shows- nearly .
The former restaurant JUBILATKA, located at Teatralne Estate 11, experienced its heyday alongside the flourishing of the steelworks complex. Over time, however, it began to decline. Eventually, a place that was once bustling with social life turned into a “deserted” space. Thanks to the artist intervention, we are breathing new life into this place that was once important to many residents of Nowa Huta.
For six summer weeks (from July 19 to August 30), JUBILATKA will transform into a meeting place for the residents of Nowa Huta. The artist will take over the space of the former restaurant and turn it into a studio-gallery, where you will be able to meet him for most of these days.
The results of the artist’s work will be visible on Friday evenings on the walls of the former KINO ŚWIT, in the form of large-format multimedia projections, where we will see the faces of Nowa Huta residents who shared their stories with us, including those about the social life of Nowa Huta.
MILOSH LUCZYNSKI will bring to Nowa Huta works from his latest exhibition titled “I see the boundless arrogance of my prejudices, I am only human” to engage in a dialogue with the recently discovered works of Nowa Huta artist Marian Kruczek (1927-1983), known, among other things, for the “Pod chmurką” gallery and many other activities that culturally enlivened Nowa Huta in the 1970s. Both artists share not only a particular empathy towards nature but also kinship. Their artistic “meeting” will turn into a familial artistic epic.
💫 In the Jubilatka space, you will also be able to see unknown works of the Kruczek artistic family connected to Nowa Huta: Józefa Sobór-Kruczek (1930-2001), Paweł Kruczek (1952-2022), and Katarzyna Szadkowska (born 1985).
