THE OPENING’S CHOREOGRAPHIC PROGRAMME
Before the Museum’s galleries have become home to works from the MSN’s permanent collection, they will be filled with bodies, motion and sound.
The choreographic programme at the opening of the new Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw will not only offer a review of the Polish choreographic scene of the recent decade, but it will also come as a unique opportunity to discover the Museum’s architecture from the angle of movement, dance and performative practice.
The artists invited to participate in the programme will be presenting acts already familiar to Polish audiences, now revisited after years (works by Iza Szostak, Agnieszka Kryst, Paweł Sakowicz, Weronika Pelczyńska and others), acts previously performed at the MSN in its former locations (e.g. the work of Ramona Nagabczyńska), as well as brand new projects, which will be prèmiered at the opening of the buidling at 103 Marszałkowska Street (acts by Maria Stokłosa and Marta Ziółek). The artists we will be watching perform are both established representatives of the choreographic scene and members of the emerging youngest generation (Emma Szumlas, Tamara Olga Briks, Sticky Fingers Club). In addition, there will be productions by members of the Polish dance community scattered throughout Europe and only occasionally presenting their work in Warsaw (Kasia Wolińska, Agata Siniarska, Przemek Kamiński, Mary Szydłowska).
With more than twenty shows, the audience will be offered an opportunity to witness diverse artistic strategies and a multitude of formal takes. The programme includes works in progress, dance acts and choreographic installations, with spectacular group productions sharing space with intimate solo activities.
Before the Museum’s galleries have become home to works from the MSN’s permanent collection, they will be filled with bodies, motion and sound. The programme is an invitation for our visitors to join the performers in experiencing the new building – feeling the height and proportions of the empty halls, the texture of the walls, the temperature of the floors, the smell, colours and light of its architecture. It is a hint to pay one’s attention to what is normally invisible.
We will begin the performative celebrations with an action for thirty bodies, by all artists invited to the programme, on Sunday, 27 October, at 6 p.m.
