Every archive is some kind of creation, and every library has a finite amount of books and a catalog developed by someone.

“Thirty to Tomorrow” is a temporary group exhibition created by Robert Kuśmirowski in collaboration with curators Magdalena Ujma-Gawlik and Kamil Kuitkowski, with the participation of artists Marek Chlanda, Andrzej Dudek Dürer, Krzysztof Leon Dziemaszkiewicz, Jan Gryka, Mikołaj Smoczyński, Maciej Świeszewski and Daniel Zagórski.
The exhibition poses questions about the actuality of the process of multiplication. Is creativity unequivocal with the so-called work of art? Does multiplication compromise the artwork or does it provide an opportunity to go beyond its limits?
The “Thirty to Tommorow” exhibition is an effect of multithreaded relations between artists, curators, time and space. It is at the same time the culmination of Robert Kuśmirowski’s road to Cricoteka.
From December 23 to January 5, the exhibitions in Cricoteka’s main building will not be open to the public. However, the space of Tadeusz Kantor’s Gallery-Workshop will remain open. We invite you to 7/5 Sienna Street from Monday to Wednesday between 12:00 and 16:00. The whole Cricoteka team wishes you peaceful and healthy holidays!
