The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw would like to invite you to contemplate architecture together - a session of deep concentration on architectural details.

We will put the theory of the viewer as a user of art to a practical test and become temporary co-creators of a work of modernist architecture. We will aim to be present and focused observers in an aesthetic practice according to which a group of viewers encounters, attends to, and realizes a made thing, focusing entirely on the object.

Our task will be to concentrate deeply, based on the PROTOCOL OF SEGMENTED ATTENTION (inspired by the work of the Order of the Third Bird and the Estar/Ser Society). During the meeting we will contemplate several elements of Emilia's interior one by one. Each contemplation will last about 10-15 minutes.
