The first April workshop will be devoted to the differences between a portrait and a self-portrait, and its result will be an extraordinary artwork showing our self portrait. The workshop is inspired by the exhibition that will soon be presented at the ICC Gallery –  More than Bauhaus. German photography between the wars and Polish parallels .

The Bauhaus was opened in 1919 in Weimar as a state school for artists and craftsmen. Until its seat in Berlin was closed in 1933 by the National Socialists, the school managed to become a symbol of progress and modernity. As the following decades have shown, its influence has gone far beyond the time limit of the first half of the 20th century and the borders of Germany.

The exhibition  Lviv, 24th June 1937.City, architecture, modernism  was presented at the ICC Gallery at the turn of 2017 and 2018. Its subject matter will be a pretext to discuss the transformations of the architectural landscape of Polish cities and to search for an answer to the question of how it changed along with the political and economic transformation after 1989, and later with Poland's accession to the European Union.

The upcoming Easter is an opportunity to make Easter eggs. During the classes, we suggested making colorful decorations in a slightly less traditional way. The key word of the meeting was STRUCTURE, because through its prism we created Easter eggs. Workshop was available to watch at the ICC profile on Facebook on Sunday, March 28, at 12.30.

Some of the Nazi plans for architectural reconstruction in Poland were carried out during the war, others remained on paper. Some structures still bear their embarrassing stigma, but many have blended in with their surroundings.

The lecture addressed the painting depicting the Adoration of the Magi from the church in Dryświaty (presently in Belarus) and panel painting in Poland and Lithuania around 1520.

At the exhibition  Printmaking as a Pair. Jadwiga Kaim-Otręba and Ryszard Otręba  are presented with abstract graphics, one of which is called the "grotesque". During the workshops, we explained what the grotesque is characterized by and where it got its name from.

The lecture will be devoted to the war fate of three architects: Szymon Syrkus, Helena Syrkus and Simon Wiesenthal – their wanderers, the projects they created at that time, the strength of friendship, and the hope that architecture gave them in the most difficult moments.

We don't know much about Lithuania, and we often use stereotypes when thinking about it. The issue of  "Herito" about Lithuania may help in overthrowing them, but it is only an introduction, a small guide to the culture and heritage of our neighbors, not exhaustive enough, but giving rise to a conversation.

On March 5, 2021, Agata Wąsowska-Pawlik, director of the ICC, participated in the debate entitled  Culture and development , which was held in Nowy Targ.

At the exhibition  Printmaking as a Pair. Jadwiga Kaim-Otręba and Ryszard Otręba  are presented graphics made with linocut. It is a relief printing technique that involves carving patterns in linoleum, which are then reflected on the paper.

Bloomsbury is not only one of the boroughs of London. This name also covers a group of artists, writers and intellectuals who opened English culture and art in the Victorian era to a new aesthetic and artistic fascination. A special role was played by Roger Fry, who, thanks to his close professional contacts with the French artistic bohemia, became an important link between the Bloomsbury community and the circle of post-impressionists active in France.

At the exhibition  Printmaking as a Pair. Jadwiga Kaim-Otręba and Ryszard Otręba  presents the two artists who share a love for graphics and for each other. Referring to the theme of the exhibition, on the occasion of Valentine's Day, we created an artwork together – a colorful, love wreath. The class was conducted by Marcin Krotla - ICC educator
