Lecture: "The Venice Biennale and Polish art"

10 February, 11 am

The lecture addressed the history of the Polish presence at the Venice Biennale and selected exhibitions organised in the Polish Pavilion.

The Venice Biennale of Art is an international exhibition held every two years, devoted primarily to contemporary art. Polish art has been present at the Biennale since 1932 and to this day it is displayed both as part of exhibitions organised in the Polish Pavilion, as well as at exhibitions held in the Venetian Arsenal, Giardini della Biennale and in the city space.

In 2022 Poland was represented by Małgorzata Mirga-Tas and the exhibition “Re-enchanting the world”, curated by Wojciech Szymański and Joanna Warsza.

The lecture accompanied the exhibition „Travelling images. Małgorzata Mirga-Tas”.

Venue: “The Ravens” hall, Rynek Główny 25
