  • The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw at the Heineken Open’er Festival 2013

”Propaganda Projector Machine” and GDYNIA UNDER CONSTRUCTION – the Museum’s offer to the audience of this year’s Heineken Open’er Festival (July 3 - July 7, 2013).

Lit up by the sign “MUZEUM”, a year ago an aircraft hangar hosting an exhibition prepared by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw became a meeting place for thousands of Heineken Open’er Festival audience. The Museum will be the hangar’s host this year, too. Instead of an exhibition, the hangar sees the “propaganda projector machine” parked inside to screen the most fascinating experimental films by Polish artists of the 20th and 21st century. With its form addressing both the revolutionary design of the early 20th century and sci-fi flying machines – the projector uses its two monumental screens to emit powerful and hypnotic films selected from among over 700 titles gathered in the Museum’s online artist’s moving image archive Filmoteka Muzeum. Designed by the young architectural practice 137kilo, the machine – its interior lit up with rays of light – also resembles a luminous sculpture.

Additionally, the Museum invites to participate in a series of trips GDYNIA UNDER CONSTRUCTION – the idea and the name relate to the Warsaw festival WARSAW UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The participants will learn about, among others, Gdynia’s fifteen most inspiring architectural developments from the inter-war period of 1918-1939. During the carefully planned walks through the city, you will have a chance to learn about individual buildings as well as whole urban systems, old and new “nooks and crannies” of this incredible city.

This is an ideal opportunity to sightsee Gdynia – the only Polish city built from scratch on the foundations of Modernism. Prior registration for the trips is required. The registration start date will be available in the coming days.
