The Fine Art Collective presents: Street Art Live
A unique meeting of artists, whose natural environment is the public sphere. During the Museums at Night event, four outstanding Polish street artists will meet at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw in order to create a shared, coherent work – all live. In their collaboration, the artists - CHAZME, NAVER, SEPE and THEOS – will focus on their individual style, but they will be operating in the same thematic sphere. The project is realized as part of The Fine Art Collective – an initiative bringing together young artists, the patron of which is the Liquitex brand, producer of professional materials for artists, also from outside of the public sphere.
Museum game:
Between 4.30 and 5.30 p.m. our visitors will have the opportunity to participate in the museum game prepared by animators from the Ludus UW Interfaculty Student Research Club, which will acquaint them, in an interactive manner, with the collection of the museum and the exhibition entitled: “As You Can See – Polish Art Today”. The players will face a number of challenges, but there will also be time to learn about the exhibits encountered during the game. By organizing a game, we would like to accustom our guests to the place and, in a friendly and unconventional manner, present selected elements of the exhibition. Who can play? All over 16 years of age are invited.
Events in the Bródno Sculpture Park:
The Targówek District prepared countless attractions for the Night in the Bródno Scuplture Park.
