We invite organized groups for virtual meetings with Zachęta's educators! We offer creative activities using the simplest and widely available art materials.

We are recruiting for three new positins within our project Open Zachęta. You can submit your CV until August 11th. (Positions only for fluent Polish speakers)

The latest issue of our magazine focuses on Monika Sosnowska, whose exhibition has just opened at Zachęta. Curator Maria Brewińska writes about the artist and her works.

Sosnowska represented Poland at the 52nd International Art Exhibition in Venice. Find out more about her project 1 : 1.

Magdalena Komornicka, in 2018, wrote about the ever-changing Zachęta and the unalterable square in front of it. The text accompanied the Plac Małachowskiego 3 exhibition.

In 2005, the artist animated the facade of Zachęta by inscribing silhouettes of women, who took on the role of caryatids, into the two pilasters carrying the gallery's tympanum.

What does the gallery facade look like? Find out from the audio description by Katarzyna Kucharska-Hornung.

In the latest issue of the magazine we recall, among others, the exhibtion Alienations. Andrzej Wajs writes about alienation from philosophical point and relates it to the current global issues discussed in the exhibition.

This short mockumentary about the construction of the first prison in Earth's orbit is a critique of technocracy and draws attention to the evil inherent in human nature.

The intention of the project awarded with the Venetian Golden Lion was to show buildings as stage decorations for social, political and economic scenarios.

In this issue, which is dedicated to our collection and collecting in general, we recall an interview with Barbara Dąbrowska and Maria Krawczyk about how the Zachęta collection got started.

This project, implemented since 2010, is about interpersonal relationships. The artist enables local communities, encouraging its residents to show their collections, tell their own stories, and do something together.

What happens to the Zachęta collection when nobody is watching? You will find out from the Zachęta TV episode inspired by an exhibition of works from our collection (2009).

Collections exhibition was primarily dedicated to crowdfunders who funded new acquisitions to our collections in 2016. We also invited one of the most interesting regional collections to the show: Galeria Arsenał in Białystok.

The theme of this issue is the relationship between art and music. We start with an interview with John Lurie – an excellent American musician who, in 2015, we also got to know as a painter.

The artist takes on a role of a pop star by performing Gwen Stefani’s hit song. The music video comes from the series In Art Dreams Come True.
