A walk following the traces of the 1st Biennale of Metal Sculpture in Warsaw, which took place in 1968 in the Wola district accompanying the exhibition Doubly Regained Territories. Bogdan Łopieński, Andrzej Tobis, Krzysztof Żwirblis.

Like in the case of the Elbląg Biennale of Spatial Forms, here too the idea was of cooperation between artists and the industrial working class, in this case, the Marcin Kasprzak Radio Works. Thirty five artists created some sixty works as part of the Biennale and many sculptures installed along Kasprzaka Street and thereabouts have survived to this day.

    Doubly Regained Territories
    Bogdan Łopieński, Andrzej Tobis, Krzysztof Żwirblis

    Doubly Regained Territories is a presentation of three artistic projects: by Bogdan Łopieński, Andrzej Tobis and Krzysztof Żwirblis. A photographer-reporter, a painter, who with the help of his photographic apparatus and a Polish-German dictionary undertakes a utopian project of describing the world, and a director-performer-animator activating a small, local (neighbourhood) community – all three of whom through their activities strive to regain peripheral territories lost to everyday banality.
