These six photographers – the oldest of them born in 1928, the youngest in 1940 – spent most of their professional lives in communist Poland. All of them worked for official presstitles. This exhibition of photographs, however, is an unofficial portrait of those times. The photos do not show government ceremonies, hierarchically framed heads of state or the heroes of propaganda reports. The people presented in the photographs are not at work: they are at leisure, using their time freely.

The exhibition presents films created by Wojciech Gilewicz in recent years during his travels to Asia and the United States. Showing painting and performative interventions in urban space, sometimes in nature, the films are not so much documentations of artistic actions as autonomous impressions though, paradoxically, of a very well thought-out structure and composition.

The exhibition focuses purely on the exploration of the variety of religious beliefs and practices of which the United States is composed.

For the sixth time the Deutsche Bank Foundation, Deutsche Bank Polska, and the Zachęta — National Gallery of Art are happy to announce the Views 2013 – Deutsche Bank Foundation Award competition exhibition presenting the most interesting young, but already established, Polish artists. Unlike in the previous years, there are five finalists and all featured works are premiere presentations.

Although Romai people live among us, there are a lot of issues that divide us. Most of all, it is our perception of the mentioned ethnically-foreign co-inhabitants. The exhibition presents, among others, the collection of clichѐ representations: etchings, photographs and paintings (from 19th to 20th century), which reflect stereotypical image of the Roma in Polish art.
