 The Imperial Castle in Poznań was supposed to be a symbol of German domination in Poland. Built in the early 20th century by order of the Emperor Wilhelm II, rebuilt 40 years later at the request of Hitler.
“The exhibition “Sny o potędze” (“Dreams of Power”) is about history and power, as well as vision of an unfulfilled victory”, explains Agata Rogoś, the exhibition curator.
She invited 14 European artists from, among others, Germany, Austria, Bosnia and Poland, to take part in the project. They became researchers in the field of different messages associated with the castle, relationships between two nations and issues related to the idea of power and its exposure in the public consciousness. The works presented within the exhibition form new interpretations of history and architecture of this unusual building and show the modern art as an interesting tool used to get to know the history and society. The exhibition is open until 18 December from 11.00 A.M. to 7.00 P.M. Accompanying events: Visiting with the commentary of the curator: 20 November and 4 December (beginning at 1.00 P.M.). Lectures: 20 November at 11.15 A.M. “Zamek jako siedziba władzy” (“Castle As the Seat of Power”) – lecture by Janusz Pazder 1 December at 6.00 P.M. Art Talk, Grzegorz Klaman and Maks Bochenek 7 December at 6.00 P.M. “Zamek jak environment czyli 100 lat eksperymentów ze sztuką” (“Castle As Environment or 100 Years of Experiments with Art”) – lecture of Maciej Szymaniak |
